By Compiled From N... - October 26th, 2022

If you're planning to ride Ranger III to Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior next year, it might cost you a little more than it did this year.

According to the National Park Service, the ferry to and from Isle Royale has been sailing under the same fare structure since 2018. Under the agency's proposed fares for 2023, tickets would go up $5-$50 each way depending on whether it's for an adult, child, or a canoe, kayak, boat fare. The public is encouraged to comment on these proposed changes before a final decision is made. The comment period is open until November 25. The proposed fare changes include:

  • One-Way Adult Fare: $80 (up from $70 in 2022)
  • One-Way Child Fare: $40 (up from $35 in 2022)
  • One-Way Canoe/Kayak Fare: $40 (up from $30 in 2022)
  • One-Way Oversized Canoe/Kayak Fare (>18ft or 80 lbs): $80 (up from $60 in 2022)
  • One-Way Boat (less than 18’01”) Fare: $125 (up from $100 in 2022)
  • One-Way Boat (18’01” – 20’00”) Fare: $200 (up from $150 in 2022)
  • Keweenaw Waterway Cruise Adult Fare: $36 (up from $30 in 2022)
  • Keweenaw Waterway Cruise Child Fare: $18 (up from $15 in 2022)

For the full Ranger III passenger and freight proposed fare structure visit this site. You can comment on the fare proposal online at this page. All Ranger III fares stay within the park, help to maintain the vessel, pay staffing costs, and provide services for the public. The proposed fare change would take effect starting January 3, 2023, when reservations open for the upcoming summer.
