Publisher's Summary:
In the final book in her Great Lakes Adventure trilogy, Loreen Niewenhuis launches off the shoreline to explore the islands of the Great Lakes Basin.
From hiking the rugged wilderness of Isle Royale in Lake Superior to strolling the metropolis on Montreal Island in the St. Lawrence River, Niewenhuis explores key islands in each of the five Great Lakes and their connecting waterways.
Biking, hiking, and kayaking, she searches for the fascinating differences and uniting themes of the water-edged islands found throughout this vast freshwater network - the connected ecology of lakes Superior, Michigan, Huron, Erie, and Ontario.
Together, these Great Lakes and their island outposts provide a vital source of water, a canvas for human culture, and a unique haven for diverse plant and animal species, some of which are endangered.
This book is a celebration of place, a warm and friendly invitation to see these beloved inland seas with fresh eyes.

Fun Adventures
The three books Loreen Niewenhuis has written on her Great Lakes adventures are enjoyable, interesting and educational. I have learned more about my home state of Michigan through her adventures. It is always a better read when the author is intelligent, thoughtful, and has a sense of humor. Thank you Loreen Niwenhuis!
Five Stars
A wonderful read about Michigan!!! Thank you so very much!!
A nice read
it was good but there is a lot of history on the Manitou islands and I would have liked a little more of that instead of piping plovers . I guess its her book and it is what it is .I'm glad I read it but I would have liked to read about her hiking and camping on the more remote places of the islands and describe the terrain .But she did a good job with what she did do .The people were interesting
Five Stars
Item as expected
Excellent!
If you have enjoyed Lake Michigan from any perspective - swimming, boating, driving past, or walking on the beach - you will enjoy this audiobook. I enjoyed hearing Loreen's descriptions of some of the port towns and lighthouses that my wife and I have driven through or boated past. Great historical overview of some of the industry along the shore of the lake decades ago. I am anxious to listen to Loreen's book about her journey exploring the diverse islands of the five Great Lakes.
