  • Isle Royale Protection Strategies
    Isle Royale Protection Strategies Site Name: Hay Bay Site Number: 1 Inland Sensitivity Tile Number: Upper Peninsula of Michigan, Tile 5 Location: South side of the main island; North shore of Siskiwit Bay - Western half. T64N, R37W, Sections 13 and 24. T64N, R36W, Sections 18 and 19. Land Ownership: Public (National Park Service) Response Strategy: Diversion (depending upon wind direction and currents) Description: The shoreline of Hay Bay from head to mouth is characterized by fringing marshes, sheltered low vegetated banks, mixed sand and gravel beaches, and gravel beaches. Game fish (coaster brook trout breeding ground), waterfowl (common loon), raptors (eagles), and large mammals are known to inhabit and frequent Hay Bay. Hay Bay trends West Southwest to East Northeast from head to mouth. The Little Siskiwit River enters Hay Bay at the extreme western end. Access Points: Access is available by water only either with a shallower draft boat or float plane/rotor aircraft equipped with pontoons. Hay Bay is approximately 24 miles from Park Headquarters on Mott Island by boat. A boat dock is available for landing and staging of equipment (including the adjacent primitive camp sites) on the South Shore of Hay Bay approximately ½ mile from the head of the bay. Water depths within the bay vary from 17 feet at the mouth of the bay, to 11 feet within the middle of the bay, to 3 feet in the nearshore. Protection Strategy Requirements: Strategy would be to place one or two 200 to 300 foot lengths of boom anchored on shore and in approximately 11 or 12 feet of water to divert oil impacts to the Little Siskiwit River at the head of the bay.
