Bike Madeline Island

Posted by Craig on

After we did the Superior Vista Bike Tour, we headed out the next day to do some biking on Madeline Island. Madeline is the largest and the southern most island of the Apostle Islands. This was a popular place to head for many of the riders who have traveled up for the weekend, especially those from the Twin Cities Bike Club. The ferry in nearby Bayfield takes you out to the island for 20 dollars (including your bike, 13 without a bike) We headed out of the town of La Pointe and made the short 6 mile ride to Big Bay State Park. The road of course takes you very near Lake Superior in a couple of areas for some great views while your pedaling. And the park is very much worth the trip as there are some great sights to be seen out there. The beach at the park is nearly never ending and I think everyone like to play on the rocks of Lake Superior. I get the feeling is a very popular State Park, so if you do want to camp there I would recommend early reservations.
