Lake Day Atlas

Lake Superior is large enough to reward choosing a single stretch of coast. On Wisconsin’s Bayfield Peninsula, Meyers Beach serves both as a shore access point and as a trailhead above the Apostle Islands mainland caves.

On the water

Plan your lake day

Take the Lakeshore Trail for views from land. If considering a guided paddle, check wind, waves and the outfitter’s launch decision before building the rest of the day around the caves.

Field notes

Before you go

Meyers Beach is on the mainland near Cornucopia. Island ferry tickets are unnecessary for the mainland trail, and hiking conditions can differ from paddling conditions.
