Madeline Island is the largest island of the Apostle Islands. We can be there in 20 minutes on the Madeline Ferry. Let’s take the ferry to Madeline Island. It’s only a 20 minute ride.

The Apostle Islands are the most northern group of Wisconsin islands in Lake Superior. We are off to the Apostle Islands. The Apostle Islands stretch out to a twelve mile archipelago of various islands which contain beaches, sandstone cliffs, caves, bogs, and dense forests. All kinds of wildlife is present. We have seen many birds out here. I will review three of the Apostle Islands here. Basswood Island: It measures about 3.5 x 11.5 miles. This island is characterized by steep rocky shores and a large forest of hardwood trees. A unique rock formation stretching out from the island is known as “Honeymoon Rock.” Raspberry Island: This was one of our last islands that we visited. The size of the island is only ½ to 1 ¼ miles wide. Raspberry Island was the second light station built on the Apostle Islands. A double dwelling was built for the lighthouse keepers and family. Devils Island: This island is not only the most dramatic and picturesque of the Apostle Islands but one of the most prized possessions of the state of Wisconsin. This island is known for its caves naturally carved out of this red sandstone along the shoreline. This island is small. It measures ½ mile by 1 ¼ miles wide. The lighthouse on Devils Island to me is the most dramatic lighthouse that I have seen in the state of Wisconsin. Notice also there is a radio antenna next to the lighthouse. Devils Island is the most northern Point of the state of Wisconsin. If you want more information about the Apostle Islands you can contact: http://www.apostleisland.com I’m Lonnie Paulson.

On this trip we made five stops along our journey where we noted various geomorphic features and landscapes of the Lake Superior region. We reached the south coast of Lake Superior in Bayfield, Wisconsin at around 10:00am. Here we made our first stop which included the entire boat trip we took which navigated through the various islands in the Apostle Island National Lakeshore. Our second stop was a beach on the shore of Lake Superior where we noted active anthropogenic and environmental changes to a shoreline. Stop three was at the visitor center for the Apostle Island National Lakeshore where we heard a short talk by the resident park ranger as he explained some of the unique features of the islands and why they should be protected. After that we proceeded to our fourth stop which was at the Northern Great Lakes Visitor Center. Here we learned, through various displays and videos, how the region had been impacted by various events over time. Finally our fifth stop was at the point where the Montreal River emptied into Lake Superior (Figure 1).

Fifty years in the Northwest http://www.loc.gov/resource/lhbum.01070 Library of Congress At the age of nineteen years, I landed on the banks of the Upper Mississippi, pitching my tent at Prairie du Chien, then (1836) a military post known as Fort Crawford. I kept memoranda of my various changes, and many of the events transpiring. Subsequently, not, however, with any intention of publishing them in book form until 1876, when, reflecting that fifty years spent amidst the early and first white settlements, and continuing till the period of civilization and prosperity, itemized by an observer and participant in the stirring scenes and incidents depicted, might furnish material for an interesting volume, valuable to those who should come after me, I concluded to gather up the items and compile them in a convenient form.
