Bayfield

Tucked along the southern shore of Lake Superior, Bayfield is Wisconsin’s smallest city, and one of its most unforgettable. Bayfield is the gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore—21 wild islands with red-sandstone sea caves, historic lighthouses, and endless opportunities for adventure. Visitors can kayak beneath cathedral-like cliffs, cruise between islands, or take the ferry to Madeline Island to explore beaches, trails, and a slower pace of life. Every season offers something special in Bayfield!
