BAYFIELD, WI: Gateway to the Apostle Islands

Bayfield is located on the shores of Lake Superior on the northernmost peninsula in Wisconsin. Just off Bayfield's shore are the Apostle Islands. This chain of 22 islands forms a protective barrier against large waves and harsh weather, making a safe haven for this small harbor village. The big lake moderates the weather, creating warmer winters and cooler summers. The climate is ideal for growing a wide variety of produce, fruits and berries.

Fishing Boats Bayfield is home to commercial fishermen, lumbermen, hoteliers, musicians and artists. Visitors to Bayfield find un-crowded shops, unspoiled nature and a slower pace. People here are honest and friendly. The scenery is fantastic...and not a single stoplight in the entire county!

Whether you're the outdoor adventure type or simply like to relax with a good book, Bayfield is the place for you. Most travelers say their getaway was a relaxing experience, just what they needed.
