EXPERIENCE
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, and visit the orchards and fruit farms along the Bayfield Fruit Loop. 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.
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.
