Madeline Island Ferry — Local services in Bayfield

So here we go, again, Madeleine island very amazing. We got there. We got back. The island was beautiful, but what was most beautiful and most calming about the trip out there was the pleasant ride on the ferry? And we had our car on it, not Bumpy, not choppy, just amazing.

You do too. So please get yourself out there and take this great adventure on this ferry...
