Isle Royale Resort Reviews: Rock Harbor Lodge
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (213 reviews)
$$$ ∙ Recently Renovated ∙ Flush Toilets

𝐏𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟒
Our family loved our trip to the newly renovated Rock Harbor Lodge! Owner Kneut Kneutson excitedly told us about the hotel’s recent upgrades managed by his daughter, Bertha Farmer. Their most impressive new feature – flush toilets! We loved playing tennis on the new court and berry picking by the shore. Our favorite part of the trip was the overnight camping excursion on Birch Island. The trip was led by John Linklater, who showed us his fishery on the small island at the mouth of McCargoe Cove. We would love to return soon!

Other than the Rio Grande, hardly any surface water is seen by the average visitor to Big Bend National Park. But springs, evidence of water beneath the ground's surface, are scattered throughout this desert landscape. Usually marked by trees or large clumps of vegetation, springs are vital to the survival of both wildlife and people in the Chihuahuan Desert. Backpackers who have ventured off the trails know that a person can't walk very far unless they know where to find this liquid gold. And valuable it is, because without a steady supply of water, luxuries that visitors to Big Bend take for granted - showers, flush toilets, and drinking water - would not be possible.

Each year, more people visit this remote national park for the first time, many of them unaware of the basic rule of thumb in the desert - use water wisely and with restraint. Failure to abide by this code can be disastrous for water sources such as Oak Springs, which supplies all of the water used by visitors in the Chisos Basin.

On this World Water Day we encourage everyone, especially visitors to Big Bend, to carefully consider each drop of water used. During your time in Big Bend, do you need to shower every day? Do you need to fill your RV water tank to the brim, or can it wait until you leave the area? And finally, consider bringing water with you to the park. The more water you bring for your personal use, the less you will take from Big Bend's vital springs.
