But you can also enjoy an exciting wintertime experience in Bayfield Wisconsin.

When Lake Superior freezes up in the winter time, travel back and forth from Bayfield to Madeline Island is accomplished by driving on the lake. (Always check on local conditions before attempting to drive on the ice.) But this is not the only winter excitement available. You can go ice fishing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, cross country skiing and ice skating. Or just sit in front of the fire at the Bell Street Tavern and enjoy a hot drink. Bayfield Wisconsin is only two miles from Madeline Island-a short drive on the ice road or a thirty minute ferry boat ride in the summer. Summer up north includes traditional water sports-fishing, sailing, and kayaking .or just lying on the beach with a good book. Enjoy scenic vistas at Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island; indulge in a cold drink on the patio at the Pub-also on Madeline Island. And the best news of all is that from most Midwest cities (Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis-St. Paul) it's an easy one-day drive to Bayfield Wisconsin-news that will save you money!
