Mount Desor is the tallest mountain within Isle Royale National Park. Located on Isle Royale in Lake Superior and with an elevation of 1,394 feet (420 m), it is the third highest peak on the lake.
The 45-mile long Greenstone Ridge Trail crosses the summit of Mount Desor as it traverses the length of the island.
On an autumn day after most of the foliage has fallen, it is possible to see Lake Superior's Siskiwit Bay to the south. Otherwise, there is not much of a view from the densely wooded spot.
