In addition to the miles of shoreline around the edge of Lake Superior, one report lists 2,591 islands and additional 1,533 miles of island coastline. One of those islands is Hermit Island, named after a hermit who lived on the island in the 1840s until his apparent murder in 1861. The island was home to a number of brownstone quarries from 1860s until the 1890s. This rock formation on the shore of Hermit Island was an arch at one time before it collapsed.
