Bayfield County, Wisconsin

The northernmost reach of Wisconsin is home to Bayfield County. It stretches along Lake Superior, boasting miles of shoreline and forests. The Apostle Islands are a kayaker’s paradise of sea caves and sandy beaches.
Inland, you’ll find more trees than people. It’s fruit country too, with apple orchards and berry farms aplenty. Winters here are no joke, but locals embrace the snow with gusto.
The small city of Bayfield transforms into a winter wonderland during its annual Apple Festival. Fishing isn’t just a hobby. It’s a way of life for many. The area’s rich with Ojibwe history and culture. If you’re looking to get away from it all, Bayfield County’s the ticket.
