Bark Point Ventures' All-Digital, All-Awesome Local Guide
Table of Contents
Welcome!
This is the last guide you’ll ever need to the Bayfield Peninsula. You won’t find every single attraction here, but you will find all of our absolute favorites—the places we just can’t live without, from waterfalls to beaches to coffee shops, that make this such a special place.
We’ve divided the peninsula into two halves: the South Shore or western half, centered around the shore towns of Port Wing, Herbster, and Cornucopia (locals call it ‘Corny’), and the Bay Side, or eastern half, which includes Red Cliff and Bayfield as well as Washburn and Ashland, the two communities that sit along Chequamegon Bay (pronounced ‘shuh-wah-muh-gun’). As a general rule, you’ll find a few more people, and a few more amenities, on the Bay Side of the peninsula.
It’s never a bad idea to call ahead and confirm hours for a must-visit stop on your itinerary! Since we’re in a pretty rural area, some businesses’ hours might turn out to be different from what you’ll find listed online, especially in winter.
Let's plan a trip!

Outdoor Adventure
South Shore Area
Quarry Beach, Port Wing
Stand on an outcrop of sandstone with water lapping your feet. No facilities (but there’s a pit toilet at the marina nearby).
Big Pete Rd, Port Wing
Walk through a stand of giant white pine to reach a secluded shoreline. Park on the left side of Big Pete Road past the house and walk down to the water. The road may be rough, especially in wet conditions, but may be passable further back when dry. No facilities on-site, but a pit toilet is available at a nearby marina.
This is our hometown beach, so maybe we’re a little biased, but it’s a pretty special spot. Playground and picnic pavilion. Portapotties, plus the restroom (with running water) at the town campground.
Beautiful view of Siskiwit Bay. Corny beach is a great option for a picnic with a sunset view: Halvorson’s Fishery is right on the beach for smoked fish and fish spread, and Ehler’s General Store is nearby, as well. And don’t miss the delicious water from the artesian well in the gazebo. Washroom.
Meyer’s Beach, Cornucopia
Part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Launching point for the sea caves trail. View of Eagle Island, the westernmost of the Apostles. Pit toilet. Parking fee.
Bayside Area
Little Sand Bay (North of Red Cliff)
Part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Park Service visitors station and town campground. Check out the reconstructed fish camp from the 1920s, or walk down the beack and find an estuary where a small creek flows into Lake Superior. You can see a few of the Apostle Islands here, with Sand Island right across the channel. No parking fee.
Big Bay (Madeline Island)
One giant beach, split between a state park and a town park. It’s a barrier beach, meaning it separates a slow-moving lagoon from the open water of Lake Superior. On a clear day you can see the Porcupine Mountains in Michigan. There’s an easy trail, mostly boardwalk, along the beach between the two parks. We like the outlet of the lagoon in the town park, and exploring the rocks over the water in the state park. Entrance fee at state park; town park is by donation. About 6 miles from La Pointe. Consider renting mopeds to get here!
Bayview Beach (north of Washburn)
Absolutely gorgeous view of Chequamegon Bay and Madeline Island, bookended by the hills south of Bayfield. Pavilion.
Destinations - waterfalls
South Shore Area
Twin Falls, Port Wing
Short jaunt up a hill on a trail paralleling a waterfall. Picnic tables; pit toilet. Half mile out and back.
Lost Creek Falls, Cornucopia
Hike through pretty, open woods to reach a waterfall hidden in the forest. Level trail except the last bit descending to the creek. Explore all around the falls, including behind the water, plus the riffles downstream. Normally not a terribly strong current here, unless Lost Creek is running high. Pit toilets at the parking area. Three mile round trip.
Siskiwit Falls, Cornucopia
Quick access from the parking area, just follow the trails down the hill to the water. Trails also parallel the river for a little bit. Water tumbles over layers of rock. Frequently a strong flow here. Pit toilet at the parking area.
Bayside Area
Houghton Falls, Washburn
Walk along a small sandstone gorge with a waterfall. Ends with a great overlook back to Chequamegon Bay on one side and out towards Bayfield o the other. Out-and-back trail; about 2.5 miles round trip.
Morgan Falls, Ashland
1.2 mile round trip over wide, level trail. Not your average waterfall: a narrow stream of water courses diagonally down a wall of rock, with a pool at the bottom.
Copper Falls, Mellen (about 25 miles south of Ashland)
A little farther afield, but work the trip: Two waterfalls, plus a river running through a gorge up to 100 feet deep. Feels very rugged and un-Midwestern. A 1.7 mile-hike shows you the basics, but there’s more hiking to be done here.
South Shore Area
Look down into caves carved into the sandstone by the waves of Lake Superior. Starting a little over a mile from the parking area, the trail runs along the lakeshore and past a series of sea caves for roughly a mile and a half. The trail continues to a remote campsite, but the stretch along the lakeshore (the first three miles or so from the trailhead) is the highlight. Moderate ups and downs as you cross small streams flowing into the lake. The trailhead is at Meyer’s Beach in the mainland unit of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore (Parking fee required).
Bayside Area
Easy, level walk along the lake for nearly three miles south of Bayfield. Starts at 3rd and Manypenny in Bayfield.
Jerry Jolly Trails, Bayfield
Several routes of varying lengths through woods and along Pike’s Creek. Also connects to the Ashwabay trails Trailhead is on Star Route Rd to the west of Bayfield.
Iron Bridge Trail and Ravine Trail, Bayfield
Walk on the Iron Bridge Trail along the bottom of a ravine right on the edge of town in Bayfield, and check out the old iron bridge from above and below (1.5 mile round trip). Or, if you prefer, hike along the rim of the ravine on the Ravine Trail. You’ll be threading your way through big hemlocks clinging to the sides of the ravine, with views to the bottom and out toward the lake. Several loops; roughly 4 miles if you do the whole thing.
Long Lake, Washburn
A favorite short hike (1.5 mile loop) around a woodland lake. Getting here requires driving on a few miles of gravel roads.
Frog Bay Tribal National Park, Red Cliff
Hike about a mile through mature boreal forest and come out on a secluded stretch of lakeshore where you can see several of the Apostle Islands (one of the best views of the islands from the mainland). There’s also an easy quarter-mile trail straight to the lakeshore.
St Peter’s Dome, about 18 miles south of Ashland
Roughly 3.5 miles round trip. The trail runs through fields of outcropping rock and across a few small streams as it climbs up St Peter’s Dome, ending with a view back to Ashland—and, on a clear day, Chequamegon Bay and the Bayfield Peninsula to the north. Morgan Falls is an easy add-on; it’s just a short way off the trail.
Outdoor Activities
Getting out on Lake Superior
For kayaking Lake Superior, guided tours are the best bet—in fact, they’re the only safe way to go, unless you have a lot of experience with sea kayaking. To see the South Shore sea caves, we love Lost Creek Adventures in Cornucopia. Trek & Trail is a good bet in Bayfield, they’ll transport you to the launch point. Apostle Islands Rustic Makwa Den, also in Bayfield, does tours of the sandstone cliffs and caves along the lake on the Red Cliff reservation (if you’re wondering about their name, ‘makwa’ is the Ojibwe word for black bear).
The easiest way to see the Apostle Islands is with Apostle Islands Cruises in Bayfield: they do tours and provide out-and-back transit so you can spend a day on Stockton Island, the biggest island in the National Lakeshore and the second-biggest in the archipelago (following Madeline).
For a quick taste of life on Lake Superior, don’t forget the Madeline Island ferry! The crossing takes around 25 minutes, and runs in all but the highest waves. You can bring your car if you want to explore the island, or just walk on board and wander around the town of La Pointe. On the rough edges of winter, you can cross, without your car, on a windsled, a small craft powered by fan that can slide across ice or float on open water.
Paddling
If you’re looking for some relatively calm spots to paddle on the Bayfield Peninsula, we recommend finding an estuary, where a river empties into Lake Superior!
Over time, rivers deposit sediment and waves move it around, and together the two forces form barrier beaches that separate a lagoon of water from the rest of the lake. These spots aren’t completely removed from the lake, but the current flowing through them tends to be pretty slow, and they’re sheltered from at least some of the winds that blow across the open water. There are three estuaries on the South Shore, all fantastic places to paddle: Lost Creek Bog just outside Cornucopia (put in at the end of Blueberry Lane), Bark Bay Slough to the east of Herbster (put in at the boat landing on Bark Bay Rd), and the Flag River Estuary on Port Wing (put in at the marina; you’re on the sheltered side of a breakwater, but note that you’re a little closer to open water here).
On the Bay Side, Big Bay is yet another estuary with barrier beach, and the lagoon makes for some excellent paddling (you can rent a canoe at Big Bay Town Park). Also check out the big estuary at the head of Chequamegon Bay (put in at the boat landing on the inland side of Hwy 2, just east of the hotel and restaurant on the lake side of the highway). For completely flatware paddling, check out Long Lake, up the hill from Washburn in the Chequamegon National Forest (day use fee required). You’ll need to drive a few miles of gravel roads to reach it, but they’re usually pretty well maintained, and the lake makes for an relaxing paddle.
Biking
This is a great place to get around on two wheels! You’ll find a variety of surfaces for riding on the peninsula, from dirt to pavement and everything in between. For maps that describe road surfaces, check out the Wisconsin DOT bike maps for Bayfield County and Ashland County.
You can rent bikes at Howl Adventure Center on the south edge of Bayfield (they have a test track, too) and at Bay City Cycles in Ashland.
Gravel and mountain biking
There’s gravel everywhere you look up here! Unpaved town roads are generally well maintained; roads in more remote areas like national forest and county forest are a mixed bag, and might require a bit of hike-a-bike in spots.
For singletrack, Mount Ashwabay is the go-to spot on the peninsula. CAMBA, the Chequamegon Area Mountain Bike Association maintains the trails at Ashwabay and in several other clusters near Hayward and Cable to our south; they’re a bit far afield but they’re well regarded throughout the Midwest.
Pavement
Most paved roads (including some county highways) are narrower than their equivalents elsewhere in the Midwest. On the other hand, traffic volumes are usually low, aside from major through routes like State Hwy 13. Drivers are generally considerate, especially on local roads, but are not as used to bike traffic as in other places. Watch for larger vehicles (logging trucks, cars hauling boats) on major routes and in the National Forest.
Check out this map for some ideas for rides on pavement. A few of our favorites:
Forest Road 236. The only paved road through the national forest on the peninsula; Park at the intersection with County Hwy C (on the big curve where Hwy C bends to the east as you’re headed to Washburn). If you want to stay on pavement, make it an out-and-back, or incorporate it into a long loop.
We think the Delta-Drummond Road is one of the best rides anywhere in the region. If you do it as an out-and-back from Delta, it’ll be a little over 20 miles with a few ups and downs and a built-in pit stop at Hunter’s General Store in Drummond (they have ice cream!). Best of all, your ride wraps up right at the Delta Diner. How convenient!
For relatively easy riding through bucolic farmland, check out Oulu (southwest of Port Wing), or Moquah (west of Ashland; pronounced ‘muhh-quhh’). We also like the area to the south of Ashland; you’ll get some nice views of the hills of the Penokee Range down there.
Motorsports
On an ATV or UTV, you can get to most towns on the peninsula via trails or designated road routes. You can also have a lot of fun riding in the woods, of course! For trail conditions and a map, check out the county ATV/UTV page. For info on Wisconsin rules and registration, click here.
Bayfield County also has a huge network of snowmobile routes! You’ll find trail connections to most towns on the peninsula, plus Ashland and Iron River. From the county snowmobiling page, you can find a trail amp and list of current trail conditions. Check out the county snowmobiling page for trail conditions and a map. And for info about Wisconsin trail passes, click here.
Skiing and Snowshoeing
For downhill skiing and snowboarding, Mount Ashwabay is the place to go, with a lift and gear rental, plus a chalet for all your après-ski needs. Ashwabay also has a big network of groomed cross-country trails. The other premier spot for cross-country skiing on the peninsula is Mount Valhalla, with groomed trails for classic and skate, and a small warming shelter. You’ll also find good skiing on the Jerry Jolly trails on the back (north) side of Mount Ashwabay. Bayfield County maintains a great website with links to maps and trail conditions for these spots as well as other ski destinations farther afield in the county, including the route of the world-famous American Birkebeiner.
Snowshoeing is possible on just about any of the hiking trails we’ve described above, though until the snow is very deep, trails with lots of boardwalk sections (like Lost Creek Falls or Houghton Falls) can be a little less fun on snowshoes. The Jerry Jolly trails are popular with snowshoers, and we love snowshoeing along the lake at Big Bay State Park.
Birdwatching
There are lots of birds here, and a productive birding expedition is possible just about anywhere on the peninsula. Here area a few idea, sorted by habitat type, to get you started…
Lake Superior open water: Besides all the beaches listed above, check out the trail to the sea caves at Meyer’s Beach and the two overlooks on Highway 13 west of Port Wing.
Sheltered inlets and estuaries: Flag River, Bark Bay Slough, Lost Creek Bog, Big Bay. Don’t forget about the head of Chequamegon Bay in Ashland. Westbound, you can pull off of Hwy 2 just west of the causeway over the main channel (west of the hotel and restaurant by the water), and if you’re traveling eastbound look for the small boat landing immediately east of the main channel (and the hotel).
Deep woods: Lost Creek Falls, Meyer’s Beach trail, Long Lake, Frog Bay, Jerry Jolly trails.
Pine barrens: Moquah barrens in the Chequamegon National Forest. Accessible on Forest Road 236 (which is paved), from County Hwy C to the north or US Hwy 2 to the south, but closer to Hwy 2.
Apostle Islands: Big Bay on Madeline Island is by far the most accessible spot for birding on the islands. The Apostle Island Cruses tours give you some chance to check out the shoreline of many of the other islands, but won’t stop for a closer look at the birds, no matter how nicely you ask. They do offer day trips to Stockton Island, though, where you can check out a large sandspit and lagoon.
Gear and Outfitters
Gear and Outfitters
For basic outdoor gear, check out Trek & Trail and Howl (downtown and the Adventure Center on the edge of town) in Bayfield, plus Solstice Outdoors in Ashland. There’s also a small selection at Lost Creek Adventures in Cornucopia. AdventureUs in Washburn repairs packs and outdoor clothing, though they’re often too busy to offer a fast turnaround.
For bikes, Howl Adventure Center in Bayfield and Bay City Cycles in Ashland have a full assortment of parts and accessories. Washburn Hardware & Sport has a more limited but very useful selection, as well.
For paddlers, Trek & Trail and Lost Creek are good places to go.

Services
Auto
Gas
On the South Shore, you can find gas at Johnson’s Store in Port Wing and Star North in Cornucopia. You can’t pay at the pump at Star North, so to fuel up in Corny you’ll need to get there during business hours. In Port Wing you can pay at the pump whenever you’d like. There are gas stations in all the towns on the Bay Side, from Red Cliff to Ashland.
Auto
Jim’s Auto on Hwy 13 in Herbster does great work, but it’s a small business and might not be able to take on work on very short notice. Fenchie’s in Washburn and Zifko Tire and Battery in Ashland are good options as well. Zifko is a great choice for tires, from patches to replacements.
Grocery
On the South Shore, you can find foodstuffs at Johnson’s Store in Port Wing (including fish, smoked and fresh) and Ehler’s General Store in Cornucopia. Star North (also in Corny) has some basics, and you’ll find a few things at Elsie Blue in Herbster, too. Bayfield has a small grocery store (Andy’s Grocery), but for bigger grocery stores you’ll want to head to Hansen’s IGA in Washburn or Super One Foods in Ashland. The Chequamegon Co-op in Ashland is the go-to for organic and natural foods.
Alcohol
The fanciest selections in the area are at Apostle 22 in Bayfield (they have nibbles to go with your drinks, too!). On the South Shore, you can find decent lineups of beer and wine at Johnson’s Store in Port Wing, and Ehler’s General Store and Star North in Corny (Star North has some spirits as well). You’ll also find a basic selection of beer at Elsie Blue in Herbster. On the Bay Side, you’ll find beer and wine at Andy’s Grocery in Bayfield, and full liquor sections at Hansen’s IGA in Washburn and Super One Foods in Ashland. The Chequamegon Co-op in Ashland has a small selection of beer and wine, as well.
Healthcare and Pharmacy
The nearest hospital is Tamarack Health in Ashland, which has a 24-hour emergency room.
There are full-service pharmacies are in Washburn and Ashland (Walgreens, Medicine Shoppe, Huhn’s, and Walmart).
Bank/ATM
There are no banks on the South Shore, but you can find ATMs at Johnson’s Store in Port Wing and Star North in Cornucopia. [[ehler’s???]]
Bayfield, Washburn, and Ashland all have banks with ATMs.
Post Offices
Libraries
There are libraries in Bayfield, Washburn, and Ashland. Cornucopia also maintains a nifty little lending library in the Town of Bell Community Center. It operates on the honor system, with no registration and no library card required, so it’s open to rental guests who promise to return their books before they leave!
