Iron Bridge Hiking & Nature Trail

If you park, as we did during the apple festival, near the cemetary at the top of Washington avenue you earn an enthusiastic street hike to and from downtown Bayfield. On the way however you can take a short detour and enjoy a secluded hike up a wooded ravine that seems like it is far from civilization. Most people hike up the ravine till it gets too steep and then return the same route. Total distance is 1/2 mile. While not a difficult hike, watch out for slippery stairs and rocks. The thick forest canopy and creek lend a rainforest like feel.

In the spring time this little creek can turn into a bridge washing monster.

Hans takes a break to get a drink from the creek.
