Do it: To the islands

There’s just something cool about being on an island. Time slows down. The rest of the world goes away. Fortunately, we have islands to explore. Madeline Island, with Big Bay State Park, is a great option near Bayfield. Or other islands in Apostle Islands National Lakeshore via a daily excursion boat out of Bayfield or a guided kayak trip. And let’s not forget Isle Royale, accessible by boat from Grand Portage. Get your Google on and check out these island options.
