A ferry leaves the pier of Bayfield every half hour and carries cars, trucks, RV’s, walkers and bikers. We took our bikes onto the island with the intention of riding from end to end but that did not happen. Instead we rode out to the Big Bay State Park, looked briefly at the beach then turned around and rode to the other side of the park, ate lunch and headed back to La Pointe, the small village where the ferry docked. And even that turned into a 25 mile bike ride. I swear it was up hill both directions!
I was disappointed with our experience on the island. Other than trees, and trees, and a beach, and trees there wasn’t a lot to see or to do. Even the small town was pretty much closed since it was Monday, and everything around here closes on Monday. But it was a beautiful day, not hot but sunny with a light breeze.
We have really enjoyed our campground with its lake front vista, visiting geese and seagulls, and very nice neighbors. Our evenings have been spent around a campfire, listening to the waves lapping the shore and taking in the amazing starlit skies. Time to move on.
