Located near the Three Mile campground is a trail junction to the Mount Franklin, Daisy Farm Campground, and Rock Harbor. Follow the Rock Harbor Trail west and hike about 4.2 miles to Daisy Farm Campground. This trail continues along Rock Harbor Channel offering scenic views. Eventually the trail offers views of an outer island with plenty of buildings on it. This is Mott Island—Isle Royale's Headquarters on island. About 1.9 miles from Mount Franklin Junction with the Rock Harbor Trail is the Siskowit Mine. The rest of the trek offers views of Rock Harbor Lighthouse and Edisen Fishery. Daisy Farm Campground is right on the shore of Rock Harbor Channel and is one of the largest campgrounds on the island. A ranger is intermittently staffed at Daisy Farm.
