These 22 islands are located off the shore of the Bayfield Peninsula in Lake Superior. You can ride the ferry to Madeline Island and visit the village of LaPointe and Big Bay State Park. Excursion boat tours are available to several of the other islands through a service out of Bayfield. The Visitor's Center in Bayfield offers films, maps, displays and National Park Service personnel to answer your questions about this area.
