The Best Hiking Near Bayfield, WI
Frog Bay Tribal Park
Frog Bay Tribal Park is one of the only parks of its kind. It is one of the only parks owned by a native tribe — the Red Cliff tribe — and is known for its preservation of rare species of plants. Hiking here gives you not only peace and relaxation, but also a beautiful view of the nearby Apostle Islands.
The Nourse Sugarbush
Do you enjoy tall trees? Really, really, tall trees? The Nourse Sugarbush may as well be California’s Redwood Forest this side of the Rocky Mountains. The unique location allows the flora to grow with little fear of fire. Thus, the sugarbush is awesomely large, and secluded from human development. This is a place where you can really get away from it all!
Mt. Ashwabay
Of course, we can’t mention the Sugarbush without mentioning the mountain itself! There are miles of trails all along Mt. Ashwabay, making it the prime place to go hiking near Bayfield, WI. There also are exhilarating trails for mountain biking, if that is your preferred means of exploring the great outdoors. Also, while every effort is made to ensure a harmony with nature, you can also take comfort in the fact that the trails are designed and maintained by volunteers. Mt. Ashwabay offers you hiking that is comfortable while still getting you close to nature.
Houghton Falls State Natural Park
Do take care where you come here, as the Echo Dells area is private property. Spend some time hiking, however, and you’ll find a rare sight: a gorgeous sandstone cliff extended into Lake Superior. Additionally, you’ll be rewarded with a lovely view of the Apostle Islands!
