Chequamegon Bay, a sheltered arm of Lake Superior, defines the setting of Bayfield — its waterfront harbor, ferries and seasonal rhythms are tied to the lake and the Apostle Islands offshore. This small northern Wisconsin city is a principal mainland departure point for Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, a federal park spread across 21 islands and a stretch of lakeshore. Ferries connect Bayfield with Madeline Island, the only inhabited island in the archipelago. On land, orchards around the city support an autumn apple harvest celebrated at the annual Bayfield Apple Festival.
