Sunset over Siskiwit Bay, Cornucopia, Wisconsin
Cornucopia - Bayfield Peninsula, Wisconsin
"Cornie" is a little seaside village nestled at the western edge of the Bayfield Peninsula along highway 13 about 22 miles from the town of Bayfield.
Siskiwit Bay and the Siskiwit River form a natural harbor for both recreational and commercial fishing vessels. Complimenting the marina are a bed and breakfast, a few artisan shops and Halvorson's commercial fishing operation and retail store. Just east of the marina complex is the township museum, the town park with picnic tables and swimming beach, and the artesian well.
(The annual Cornucopia fireworks will be on Saturday June 30th, followed by the community fish fry on Sunday, July 1)

The coffee shop & bookstore is a popular gathering place for java and conversation. > > >
Ehlers General Store is over 90 years old and still retains some of  the Olde Tyme character while offering more contemporary goods and services.

Camping
A few miles SE of town, via Cty C, there is an attractive but rustic campground at Siskiwit Lake. There also appears to be a few lakeside campsites at the Marina. Otherwise, it is the town park at Little Sand Bay (east) or west to Herbster and their town park. Both are on Lake Superior. Go Here for more info on Camping in the Bayfield Peninsula area. |
Cornucopia in Winter
 In wintertime Cornie hosts hikers venturing out from the nearby Apostle Islands Park Meyers Beach to the famous Bayfield Lake Supeior Ice Caves. Usually the ice isn't thick enough for safe traveling until February so before planning your trip you might check with the folks at Ehlers General Store in Cornucopia info@ehlerstore.com for the latest conditions.
