Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Parks and Outdoors Travel Guide

Wisconsin's northernmost promontory breaks up into an archipelago of 21 islands in the cobalt-blue waters of Lake Superior. French missionaries, who spied the archipelago from a distance, counted twelve islands and thus named them the Apostles. The lakeshore also includes 12 miles of picturesque coastline on the mainland, where white-sand beaches are caressed by the waters of the world's largest freshwater lake.
Sea caves penetrate deep into the crimson cliffs that tower above the blue sapphire waters of Lake Superior. During calm waters, kayakers can explore the innermost recesses of sea caves and discover a beguiling interior of honeycombed passageways and vaulted ceilings.
Camping on the islands requires a National Park Service permit, available at the island ranger stations or online—the latter is recommended, as it can be a long trip back to shore on a busy weekend.
Keep your eyes peeled for bears on Stockton Island—the largest island in the designated National Lakeshore has one of the highest densities of black bears in the nation.
During spring, the water temperatures near shore attract large numbers of trout and salmon. The spawning of steelhead (rainbow) trout and rainbow smelt further enhance the fishing. The best areas are usually adjacent to good spawning streams such as the Sioux, Onion, Pikes, Cranberry, and Flag Rivers. Fall salmon spawning also makes for good fishing.
