Overview
- Craig Berg, 70, of Royal Oak last spoke with family on Sept. 2 and was expected to return home Sunday, Sept. 6, but never arrived.
- The National Park Service opened active searches after the family reported him missing and rangers have moved search efforts beyond Rock Harbor into the park interior.
- Family members have posted Craig's photo at campsites and contacted the park, Michigan state police, Houghton police, and the U.S. Coast Guard, which said it is aware of the case.
- Isle Royale has no roads or motorized transport, covers hundreds of square miles, and has spotty cell service, all of which slow searches and make evacuations take more time.
- Searches remain ongoing with no confirmed sighting or recovery reported, and authorities and the family are urging visitors to report any information to park staff and local law enforcement.
