Isle Royale National Park on a remote island was established in 1940, and designated a
wilderness area in 1976. The only mode of transportation available is by boat or seaplane.
Moose first arrived at Isle Royale around 1900. The moose population tends to increase in
years with mild winters, early spring green-up, abundant winter forage, low wolf numbers
and low levels of tick infestation. Wolves first arrived at the island on an ice bridge from
Canada in a940. Disease has also influenced the wolf population. Between 1980 and 1982,
the wolf population declined from 50 to 14, due to canine parvovirus.
