We spent a long weekend exploring northern Wisconsin and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Camping We stayed at a small campground called Apostle Islands Area Campground. It was minutes away from downtown Bayfield, had full hookup sites, open space, a playground with gaga ball, and a fun brew pub in walking/bicycling distance! Adventure Club Brewery This was a fun stop for both kids and adults. The kids loved getting the wolf to move and playing Frisbee Golf, while the adults enjoyed some locally made drinks. Hiking We hiked the Meyers Beach Sea Cave Trail at Meyers Beach. It was hot and sticky on this 4.5 mile hike. It made jumping in Lake Superior at Meyers Beach at the end of the hike feel great! The hike itself was very wooded and the majority of the hike was very well maintained. You really don't get a view of Lake Superior or sea caves until the end of the hike. It was very pretty, but I wish you could see the lake on more of the trail. Car Ferry to Madeline Island We took the ferry over to Madeline Island for a day. It was nearly $100 for the round trip, so make sure you have your day at Madeline Island planned to make it worthwhile. Things to do at Madeline Island
Boat Tour
There are so many kayak and boat tours in this area to choose from. We took a boat tour through Apostle Island Cruises. We took the Grand Tour, which was a 55 mile scenic tour around the National Lakeshore. We saw lighthouses, sea caves, and bald eagles.
