bay With a year-round population of only 487 Wisconsin's Smallest City, the Berry Capital of the State, and the Gateway to the Apostle Islands.

The list goes on from there.

Bayfield holds many distinctions, but underneath all the titles and accolades it is also simply and strikingly beautiful. A small city on the shores of the Big Lake.

Plan your adventure and see Bayfield and the Apostle Islands for yourself.

6 | bayfield, wisconsin

Bayfield holds the title of Wisconsin's Smallest City. As you walk along the lakeshore in Memorial Park, you'll find yourself surrounded by islands, vibrant downtown shopping, and a thriving art scene. You'll witness the ferry making its way to Madeline Island, with visitors waving from the top deck alongside the year-round Island residents. Look up Rittenhouse Avenue, where you'll see a bustling rooftop bar with quiet, elegant Victorian B&Bs in the distance. Look back to Lake Superior and see a chartered sailboat on the way to the sea caves, slowly passing a commercial fishing boat bringing in their catch––your dinner later tonight. Welcome to Bayfield; a proud harbor city with much to offer.

Away from the lively streets of Bayfield, spend a quiet day in the orchards and fruit farms. With a climate tempered by proximity to the greatest of the great lakes—Lake Superior— and protected by rolling hills, Bayfield is famous for its fruit production—a rare thing in such northern latitudes. Apple orchards abound in the hills outside of town. Local berry growers produce some of the largest crops of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries in the Midwest, earning Bayfield the title of Official Berry Capital of the State. Find cider, jellies, jams, preserves, pickles, honey, bakery, and more at the many

yfield farm stores on Bayfield's "Fruit Loop." Several wineries, hard cideries, a brewery and distillery are also transforming local fruits into libations. Treat yourself to a tasting while you're here.

The local food doesn't stop at fruit. Bayfield is also home to one of the remaining sustainable fisheries on the Great Lakes—whitefish.

Local fisherman bring in a daily catch of salmon, trout, burbot, and whitefish during the season, providing restaurants in the area with fresh healthy seafood from some of the cleanest water in the world. Restaurants offer visitors whitefish in a myriad of styles baked, boiled, fried, and smoked. Some even offer whitefish livers, a local delicacy (sautéed or fried). The waters around Bayfield also draw sport fisherman in every season seeking the catch of a lifetime from the deep cold waters of Lake Superior.

The area is steeped in natural beauty. Hike to waterfalls, crosscountry ski through hemlock forests, explore miles of lakeshore.

And, of course, Bayfield is the Gateway to the Apostle Islands, a chain of twenty-two islands reaching north and east from the Bayfield peninsula into Lake Superior (learn more on page 50).

Bayfield is home to the ferry terminal that connects travelers (and their vehicles) from the mainland to the only currently inhabited island in the archipelago, Madeline Island. The Madeline Island Ferry Line runs several times a day throughout the year whenever the channel is free enough from ice to operate. In years when the ice is thick enough to hold the weight of cars, a road opens across the channel between Bayfield and La Pointe, the small town on

Madeline Island, allowing residents and visitors to drive across the lake for a few short weeks at the peak of winter.

Visitors love Bayfield summer, but many boast its winter wonders above all. Our heavy lake effect snow makes the area a mecca for the active sportsperson, with wonderfully-groomed nordic ski trails in the quiet backwoods. Cozy lodging facilities make a perfect home base for quiet winter enthusiasts as you return from your dog sled adventure or showshoe journey. The best part–you'll have ample opportunity to explore Bayfield winter, as our snow often comes earlier than other midwest destinations. (Thank you, Lake Superior!)

Bayfield's historic and vibrant downtown has the feel of a different time. While many cities watched their shops and inns lose out to big box stores and chain hotels, Bayfield held strong. Our downtown is very much alive, storefronts filled with locally owned shops and galleries. A stroll through downtown reveals the brilliant work of the many artisans who call Bayfield home. Real restaurants feature menus for every palate from beautifully plated five-course meals to classic pub burgers. Our hotels, inns, and famous bed & breakfasts—many within walking distance of downtown—give visitors the comfort of home with a personal touch you won't find anywhere else.

Come explore Bayfield and the Apostle Islands for yourself. Start planning your adventure today.

CELEBRATING

OF THE

APOSTLE ISLANDS NATIONAL LAKESHORE How many have been influenced by this beautiful national park in far-North Wisconsin on Lake Superior? As you look out on the water from Bayfield, you'll see 22 Apostle Islands, 21 of which are protected as part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. You may have have driven by Meyers Beach Road off State Highway 13, taking you to the trailhead of the Lakeshore Trail winding above the sea caves.

These 21 islands and 12 miles of mainland is sacred.Visitors can enjoy singing sand beaches, abandoned quarries, lighthouses, campsites, and scenic overlooks. Nearby communities, the two tribes, and all who have visited feel the pull of Gichigami and the enduring allure of the islands.

Along windswept beaches and cliffs, experience where water meets land and sky, culture meets culture, and past meets present. Hike, paddle, sail, or cruise to experience these Jewels of Lake Superior and take it all in... it's where the water meets the soul.

In 2020, Apostle Islands National Lakeshore will recognize 50 YEARS (!) as a designated national lakeshore. All year long, area residents, businesses, and visitors will celebrate this special place on the Lake Superior (Gichigami), and its signiďŹ cance to our culture. Look for this logo, designating 50th anniversary partners showing appreciation for this special place.

OF MAINTAINED TRAILS ON THE ISLANDS & THE MAINLAND

It's a bucket list spot for many (as it should be it's gorgeous!)–but the mainland ice caves within the National Lakeshore are often inaccessible. It's a 2+ mile hike on frozen Lake Superior to get to the caves so everything has to be just right to create a good ice surface. Cold is super important, cause obviously that makes ice. But wind is a major component as well. Some alternative ice formations may be available for viewing.

BERRY CAPITAL OF WISCONSIN Bayfield’s location near Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands creates a unique micro-climate, which allows fruits and berries to flourish on the land surrounding the city. During the summer months, you can find fresh strawberries, sweet and tart cherries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries at the downtown farmers market every Saturday morning and at roadside stands along the 'Fruit Loop.'

APPLES As the temperatures start to cool, the apple orchards begin their harvest. Bayfield orchards offer apples of every size and flavor, including many heirloom varieties.

Every autumn, the growing season culminates with a threeday celebration of the region’s agricultural heritage, the Bayfield Apple Festival. Known locally as Applefest, the event features local foods, arts and crafts booths and live entertainment provided by the Blue Canvas Orchestra of Big Top Chautuaqua.

It begins on the first Friday in October and is consistently rated as one of the top fall harvest festivals in the nation.

EMBRACE WINTER Change up the scenery. For a true adventure, a trip to Mt. Ashwabay in Bayfield is in order.

A look at Lake Superior from the top of the mountain is hard to beat. Grab a daily pass (or a season pass) and hit the trails!

A SNOW LOVER'S

paradise

IT'S BETTER IN BAYFIELD Thanks to Lake Superior, Bayfield gets hit heavy with lake effect snow. The silent sports season is long... often starting in November. It's not uncommon to continue skiing well into April. It's easy to see why many visitors prefer Bayfield's winter wonders.

Aside from quality snow, Mt. Ashwabay's nordic trails offer visitors something special...

QUIET. With a hilly terrain formed long ago by Glacial Lake Duluth, sound is deadened. The effect is enhanched with mature forests.

EXPERIENCE

“This place is an absolute gem!” @mn_runaways #bayfieldwi

A special place where people connect with nature.

The natural beauty of Bayfield is yours to explore!

Discover the sea caves. Do some boutique-style shopping. Relax on the deck and take in the Lake Superior views. Just like Bayfield has something beautiful to see in every season, there's also plenty to do in every season. There's something special about this city––the Bayfield experience stays with you. And when you return, it'll feel like the welcoming home of an old friend.

Experience the natural beauty with adventure.

Paddle the Apostle Islands, ride fat bikes in the fresh lake effect snow, sail Lake Superior, or mush a team of dog sleds. Or, just take a deep breath and relax on a cruise around the islands.

Stroll down historic Rittenhouse Avenue in downtown Bayfield. You'll soon notice that every shop is truly unique. No chain stores, just real businesses in a thriving downtown. Pick up gear for your next kayaking trip, or make a dent in your holiday shopping list. Pick up smoked Lake Superior whitefish to pair with your local wine as you sip and watch the sunset.

Hop in the car for an afternoon visiting the orchards and fruit farms along the Bayfield Fruit Loop (see more on pg. 16). Find out what's in season and pick your own or buy pre-picked. If you're lucky enough to visit in the fall, you'll experience the changing leaves overlooking Lake Superior as you pick apples.

Bayfield has a long history with the arts. The inspiring beauty of Lake Superior and the picturesque city of Bayfield have drawn artists from across the country. Visit the many studios and galleries in and around Bayfield; many invite visitors to watch them at work.

Build your Bayfield experience and become part of life here next to the water.
