Hi there, I hike with my 2 kids 6y/o and 10 y/o. They love the outdoors, and have lots of experience camping. However they have never backpacked before (but it's their goal to visit isle royal). I live on the boarder of IL and IA. And about 2 hrs away from WI. My question is...do you recommend any places that possibly has a decent size loop trail that we can practice backpacking over a weekend? Any hike in campsites at some descent parks? It doesn't have to be a loop trail, but looking for suggestions where they can get the feel of backpacking and work on extending our days in preparation to isle royal.
