Stay and Play in Bayfield, WI
Named one of "The 23 Best Placed to Go in the U.S. in 2023" by Conde Nast Traveler, Bayfield is the perfect getaway for those looking to experience the beauty and adventure of Lake Superior. Bayfield, also known as the "Gateway to the Apostle Islands," has no shortage of adventures for travelers.
Come for a visit in our little town on the big lake and experience all the beauty and charm Bayfield has to offer. Visitors will find plenty to keep them occupied all year long. Summer brings warm beach days, kayaking through the sea caves, sailing, camping and peaceful nights. Winter brings down-hill and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and if you're lucky you might be able to catch a sled-dog race or wander through the ice caves. Bayfield is the perfect vacation for adventure lovers and relaxation seekers alike!
A Sailors Paradise
The Apostle Islands are a group of 22 islands off the shores of Bayfield and are known to be one of the most stunning destinations in the Midwest. Boasting turquoise waters, sandy beaches, breathtaking sunsets and quiet anchorages, the islands are a treasure trove of wildlife, natural beauty, and rich history making them a true sailors paradise. One of the best ways to explore the islands is by taking a cruise around the archipelago, by renting a sailboat from Superior Charters.
Superior Charters is a locally owned Sailboat Charter Company located just outside of Bayfield, WI at Port Superior Marina. During a Summer trip to Bayfield, we highly recommend a trip with Superior Charters to fully experience everything that the Apostle Islands and Lake Superior have to offer. Superior Charters offers multi-day Bareboat and Captained trips, as well as sailing instruction (for those of you who want to learn to sail on your own). They also have a large and beautiful fleet of sailboats to choose from. When sailing the Apostle Islands, Superior Charters is the way to go!
The Berry Capital of Wisconsin
Bayfield's disposition to the lake creates a unique microclimate which allows fruit and berries to flourish. Also known as the "Berry Capital of Wisconsin" the "Fruit loop" is a must stop during your trip to Bayfield. During the summer months you can find fresh strawberries, sweet and tart cherries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. In the fall, visit one of the 10 apple orchards on the "Fruit Loop" and pick your own apples or take home a sweet treat made using fresh, locally grown ingredients.
