Known as the "Gateway to the Apostle Islands," Bayfield is the perfect getaway for those looking to experience the magic of Lake Superior. There is no shortage of adventures to explore here in Wisconsin’s Smallest City and the Berry Capital of Wisconsin.

Every season brings new opportunities to soak up the natural beauty and historic character of this charming city on the shores of Lake Superior. From world-class kayaking along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore to the arts and cultural events throughout the year, including our annual Bayfield Apple Festival, there's something for everyone here.
