An average snowfall of 70 inches makes the area an ideal destination for the snow lover. Opportunities abound for the adventurous, including cross country skiing on the island or on trails outside Bayfield. Or try snowshoeing, dog sledding, ice fishing or snowmobiling. There is downhill skiing at nearby Mt. Ashwabay. And if winter conditions are just right, you can visit the Ice Caves in the Apostle Islands National lakeshore area. Or why not simply come to enjoy the vast beauty of clean undisturbed snow and sky?

The Inn offers a variety of accommodations for the winter season. Families and groups will love a winter getaway at a suite, condo, or townhome—especially one with a Jacuzzi tub and a fireplace.

Check our rental descriptions for winter availability.

A Madeline Island Winter

Transportation to and from the island in the winter varies with the weather. The ferry service continues to the island until, or if, the bay freezes. If the ferry stops running there is a short period of time when the wind sled is put into operation until the bay freezes. The wind sled is passenger only—no vehicles, runs a limited schedule, and lets passengers off about a mile from La Pointe. Some years the bay freezes enough to allow car traffic on the Ice Road. Ice Road conditions are carefully monitored. Call the Rendezvous Center or the Madeline Island Chamber for Ice Road information.

The Pub Restaurant is closed in the winter. Check the Madeline Island Chamber and Bayfield Chamber for restaurants and grocery stores that remain open in winter. It’s always a good idea to bring your own supplies!
