Winter Fun

Winter in Bayfield is great experience. Fresh snow most every day and the Great Lake does it's best to keep the temperatures moderate. Mt Ashwabay features cross country and downhill skiing as well as snowboarding. Maybe a dogsled ride is more your speed? In March take a real Polar Plunge through the ice of Lake Superior. Ever wanted to drive to Madeline Island? For a few weeks in the deep of winter we have the Ice Road. When the lake freezes thick enough to plow a road from mainland Bayfield to Madeline Island. There is something unique about driving across Lake Superior.
