Local Adventures
Hiking and Biking
If you looking for a quick, easy hike you can’t do better than Houghton Falls. If you’re looking for something more challenging, and want to be rewarded with amazing views of Chequamegon Bay and the Apostle Islands, hike to St. Peter’s Dome. If you’re into chasing waterfalls, make sure to check out Copper Falls State Park. Or, if biking is more your style, rent a bike from Bay City Bikes in Ashland and coast along the paved trail along the Bay
Water, Water Everywhere
It’s no secret that the largest freshwater lake in the world makes for incredible water-based adventures. Fish to your heart’s content on Long Lake. Cool down during a hot afternoon by paddleboarding out on the Bay. Kayak to the sea caves along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Take the Madeline Island Ferry from Bayfield over to Madeline Island.
Eat Well
Good local food can be found all throughout the Chequamegon Bay region. Enjoy the vegan nachos at the Black Cat Coffeehouse in Ashland, satisfy your sweet tooth at Café Coco in Washburn, and grab a fresh ice cream sandwich at Tetzner’s Dairy on your way between the two!
Shop Locally
There are dozens of great places to spend your money while in the area. Some of our favorites are outdoor outfitters Solstice Outdoors and Howl Adventure Center, the gaming store Play Unplugged, and Eckels Pottery.
Sand, Sun, and Water
If you’re looking for sand, sun, and easy access to Lake Superior, we recommend Friendly Valley, Meyer’s, Cornucopia, or Maslowski beaches—all within an hour of Northland’s campus!
