What is the best National Park in the US? The answer, of course, is entirely subjective – but when put to the average person, most might suggest Yellowstone for its heady array of geysers, Yosemite for its tumbling waterfalls or the hazy peaks of the Great Smoky Mountains. However, a new list ranking the National Parks has named a much lesser-visited (and even lesser-known) park as the top park to visit.
According to the new list by the Wall Street Journal published last week, the best National Park is in fact Isle Royale, Michigan. Never heard of it? You wouldn't be the first, as its national visitorship is just 25,000 per year, barely a drop in the bucket compared to the 12 million who crowd the gates of Great Smoky Mountains National Park each year. And that is part of the appeal of this park.
