Iron River, WI

We landed in Iron River Wisconsin today (goodbye Michigan; it was a great 31 days, we will return again!) for a supposed week of “slow down”. I have a sneaking suspicion it’ll be nothing of the sort!
We’ve got a superb spot in the campgrounds right on the water of Iron Lake.

 

 

 

Apostle Islands

The stunning Apostle Islands. Weather was beautiful; air temps were in the high 70’s while Lake Superior water temp was 40 degrees!

Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge

Cloudy day made for cool vibes…
* Drummond village, in the Chequamegon National Forest. Nothing but ATV trails and lakes everywhere.
* Whittlesey Creek National Wildlife Refuge. Saw several interesting animal beds off the hiking trail. These looked too large for deer, and there are after all bear around, yet we saw neither.
* dense fog rolled in off of Lake Superior for the night (sunset at 9:02 CST). Felt like a movie set driving home to the campground!

 

70- mile Wisconsin Lake Superior Scenic Byway

Day trip around the 70- mile Wisconsin Lake Superior Scenic Byway:
Orienta Falls, the Port Wing village and Marina, Cornucopia Beach (home to an artesian well; crystal clear chilled water), and the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

Tahquamenon Falls State Park

We’ve made it into the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and got our first views of Lake Superior in the aptly named town of Paradise. First stop is staying at the Tahquamenon Falls State Park, a beautiful 50,000 acres stretching over 13 miles. The centerpiece here are waterfalls; the Upper Falls and Lower Falls are known as the “Root Beer Falls” because of the tannins from Cedar, Spruce and Hemlock trees in the swamps (or bogs, fens).
It’ll be rains throughout our stay here, but that actually paints the forest ambiance in a fun and appropriate Moose/Bigfoot kind of way.
A wet ☔️and cold 🥶(50 degrees!) hike is on the agenda today. Excited to hopefully spot some rare wildlife in these woods.
