Pack your swimsuit, your snorkeling equipment and your nautical map: Apostle Islands underwater exploring is a trip back into the past. The shorelines of the Apostle Islands are a rich source of both history and geology. You can find old coins, old musket balls and Ojibwa bugle beads-even agates-just by looking underwater near the shoreline. Plan your Apostle Islands vacation around some water adventures! You can stay on historic Madeline Island and enjoy the scenery in the evening: vast panoramas of the largest lake in the world. Lake Superior water is so cold that items found underwater are in nearly perfect condition. Madeline Island, a two-mile ferry ride from Bayfield, Wisconsin, offers cabin-style lodgings as well as condominiums and campgrounds. Check with the Madeline Island Chamber of Commerce regarding availability. An outfitter can provide you with a navigational map: Apostle Islands shipwrecks can be located by contacting the national park service in Bayfield. While you’re on the Island, visit the historical museum for inter-active displays that show the history of the local Ojibwa Indians. The Island also offers many hiking trails along the lakeshore and through the wetlands. You might also be interested in renting a moped or bike, canoe or taking a guided kayak or boat tour. Apostle Islands vacation destination-yours to enjoy.
