For 27 years, Isle Royale Boaters Association (IRBA) has sought to represent the interests of power and sail boaters, sport fishermen, paddlers, backpackers, and all who enjoy Isle Royale. Over the years, IRBA has partnered with the NPS on numerous maintenance projects, such as restoring infrastructure on Belle Isle, painting the Daisy Farm Campground pavilion, developing and constructing the Windigo pavilion, and building the Windigo finger docks.

Not only does IRBA improve island facilities, we also work to combat invasive species in Lake Superior and support historic preservation. IRBA is always interested in promoting Isle Royale projects that support sustainable visitor use.
