I’m a Wisconsin native. There are so many beautiful
and surprising places to go in Wisconsin, if you can get there through the
mountains of snow and frigid temperatures that seem to prevail most of the
year. The Apostle Islands National Seashore lies on the banks of Lake Superior
in far northwestern Wisconsin. The Apostle Islands are famous for their ice
caves that form naturally when the winter conditions are optimum. Much of the
year, the Apostle Islands are only accessible by boat, but in the long cold
winters when Lake Superior freezes over, visitors can walk or drive there via
the frozen lake.
While there are portions of this National Seashore
that are on the mainland, most visitors want to go to the islands. There are
several boat charter companies and ferries that can provide access.
Northern Wisconsin is an amazing getaway, especially
in the fall. Beautiful rolling glacier-formed hills with trees of many colors,
crisp fall air and nice people who will hug you at the drop of a hat.
Wisconsinites would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. They’ll
also probably try to get you to eat some sort of cheese, offer you a beer and
want to know if you’re a Packer fan. I better end this post before I get all
misty-eyed.
