Bayfield's Beauty Beyond the Waterfront

Bayfield (Wisconsin) is a charming small town on Lake Superior that makes the most of its picturesque lakeside location.

However, this post focuses on some of the beautiful areas on the outskirts of Bayfield away from the waterfront.

The forested areas outside of Bayfield are especially stunning in autumn and we enjoyed these colors while visiting the Apostle Islands during the first week of October.

Bayfield is known for its apples and there are apple orchards all around the Bayfield area.

The Apostle Islands Natioinal Lakeshore's main Visitor Center and Headquarters is located in Bayfield.

This visitor center and headquarters is housed in a beautiful building and the landscaping is gorgeous in the fall.

The visitor center features information on the national lakeshore as well as interesting exhibits.

After visiting the main Visitor Center and Headquarters of Apostle Islands National Park, we drove to the nearby Iron Bridge and Nature Trail.

The Iron Bridge and Nature Trail turned out to be one of those nice little travel surprises that exceed one's expectations.

The short, generally easy trails offered all kinds of interesting things to see in early October.

Views of the bridge are certainly part of the attraction.

Views from the bridge are pretty impressive as well.

Although the coastal scenes of Bayfield are stunning, the inland scenes are also scenic and are particularly stunning in autumn.
