Bayfield, Wisconsin

Gateway to Madeline Island and the Apostle Islands, Bayfield is the crown jewel of the Bayfield Peninsula. An active arts and crafts community, shopping, orchards, dining, sea kayaking, sailing, camping, fishing, and island cruises are among the attractions that make Bayfield a popular touring stop.

While there are interesting things to see and do at most times in Bayfield, we most enjoy the festive atmosphere of the annual fall Apple Festival - which draws up to 60,000 people during the 3 day weekend!

During the winter there are several Christmas and Holiday activities going on commencing with the holiday tree lighting ceremony on November 28th. The Rittenhouse Inn has a nice Thanksgiving dining and lodging package that we might catch this year. Later in the season there is cross-country skiing and downhill skiing at Mt. Ashwabay, the big Sled Dog race, the fantastic Bayfield Ice Caves, and winter carnivals.

Bayfield residents have done a fine job preserving the historic character of the town. A number are listed on the National Register of historic sites.

Among the historic structures is this 1912 Iron Bridge constructed by Wausau Iron Works. Underneath the Iron Bridge, there's also a neat little wooded hiking trail running up the ravine. It is so secluded it is hard to grasp you are only minutes from "downtown" Bayfield.
