Sea Caves & Ice Caves
Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Meyers Beach

bayfield sea caves

A popular Bayfield winter attraction is touring the Lake Superior Ice Caves of the Bayfield Peninsula. In the spring, summer and fall we've taken the hiking trail from the Meyers Beach parking lot to the top of the caves and have caught some impressive views of the caves. During these three seasons, however, the best view of the caves is from the water . . . which is one of the prime reasons Bayfield is a popular kayaking center.

But winter makes the caves accessible to anyone willing to walk a little over a mile on the frozen beach and lake ice. It is fantastic, a really neat experience.
