Wisconsin’s Lake Superior Water Trail is a network of launch areas, points of interest, picnic areas, and campsites spread across 153 miles of mainland coastline and Madeline Island. It includes 12 segments, each with its own distinct character, challenges, and rewards. This segment is one of the most scenic of the water trail. It features a coastline that is remote, sparsely developed, rugged, and wild. You will parallel Red Cliff Reservation lands which are not open to non-tribal members. Later, York and Raspberry Islands clearly come into views and an open water crossing to the islands can be a rewarding side trip. Other great views and points of interest include sandstone/brownstone formations, sea caves, ledges, sand beaches, diverse flora and many rare plant species, a panoramic view of the Apostle Islands at Red Cliff Point, and the remains of the wooden steamer Fedora from a wreck over a century ago. Potential hazards on this course include reflective wave conditions, limited access to emergency landing sites, and rapidly changing weather conditions.
