Apostle Islands
The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Park is just a short, scenic drive from Lake Superior Suites in Ashland, WI. Visitors enjoy different outdoor experiences on each of the 22 islands. Forests, lighthouses, sea caves, and sandstone bluffs create a diverse landscape.
Spend a day exploring the Raspberry Island Lighthouse. Labeled as "The Showplace of the Apostles," the lighthouse is being restored to its days as a home for keepers and their families. People from around the world enjoy the guided tours of this famous lighthouse.
The waves and weather of Lake Superior have created many interesting sea caves. The Apostle Islands Cruise Service boat will allow you to see these beautiful and amazing treasures. Try sea kayaking for an up-close view of the caves. For those visitors who prefer animals, the natural isolation and environment of the islands provide an excellent habitat for all kinds of wildlife. Stockton Island has one of the greatest concentrations of black bears in North America. The history and culture of this area is as unique and varied as the shoreline.

The staff at Lake Superior Suites will be happy to help you plan a visit to the Apostle Islands.
