Nice little spot to kill 30-45 minutes, maybe more if you call ahead and ask if there is a tour available. We happened to jump in with a large group that must have arranged a tour beforehand. We got to see and touch many large varieties of trout and walk the grounds where the holding ponds are. Very nice, well educated, and accommodating staff that are excited about what they do. Our one year old loved getting to pet the fish!

This is a relatively easy, well maintained, and beautifully scenic trail…read more Whether or not you're able to actually see falls, really depends on the level of water flow. We were here during a dry spell and so there were no falls to be seen. That said, the trail itself is gorgeous and the end (right before it loops you back toward the parking lot) has a stunning view of Lake Superior. Pro-tip: There's more than a view of Lake Superior. There's a staircase down to an outcropping of flat rock that while we were there folks were using as a jumping off point to take a dip in the lake! It's pretty protected and makes for a great swimming hole. We didn't get in the water but enjoyed watching others take the leap. Get to it!

The end of the trail leads to a great view of the bay and a place to stretch out in the sun. The boardwalk on this hike is one of the nicest and sturdiest boardwalks I had ever encountered. This thing is made to last. Even without any water falling it is worth the time to see this place.

This is a small seasonal (May 15-Oct 15) campground managed by the City of Ashland Parks and…read moreRecreation. It has 6 RV sites with electric, and 6 tent/small camper tents without electric. (Parks and Recreation also manages another campground, Kreher, for larger RVs. Kreher has 33 sites). Prentice Park is a first come, first served campground. No reservations are taken. There were many sites still available when we arrived on a Wednesday evening around 6 pm in late May. Tent sites are $20/night ($125/week), while electric sites are $35/night. There was a host on-site, and we were able to pay her directly. This is a nice, and well-maintained campground. Sites were flat and clear, with a picnic table and fire ring. We had some privacy because there were small trees between our site and the adjacent one. (Some sites were less private). Firewood was available. There are flush toilets and secure showers. (The showers are for campers only, and require a passcode. The bathroom is open to the public during the day but is locked at night (usable with passcode). The campground felt safe, given the host on site but also with occasional patrols by the local police. The campground is adjacent to Prentice Park, which has a pavilion, playground, another bathroom, 2 miles of hiking trails, and access to the Ashland Rails to Trails. There is also an artesian well on site for fresh water. There were a few small negatives. We were tent camping and, despite being a few miles from Rte. 2, we could hear some truck traffic from that road. The campground is inland, so there's no view of Lake Superior. (Kreher Campground has lakefront sites). Finally, like everywhere else in the great outdoors in northern Wisconsin in late May, there were some mosquitoes but they weren't overwhelming.

The camp host was right there providing the shower code. There are deer, bunnies, an owl and lots of birds. Fire pits at each site and firewood is available for purchase. Wonderful bike/walking trails here as well. Just delightful!

Copper Falls State Park is often ranked among Wisconsin's top state parks, and it's easy to see…read morewhy. Located in the Northwoods of northern Wisconsin, the park's highlight is the Doughboy Trail, a well-developed two-mile loop that offers excellent views of both Copper Falls and Brownstone Falls. The trail is easy to follow, well-maintained, and includes several scenic overlooks. Because of its distance--several hours from cities like Madison--I recommend combining a visit with other Northwoods attractions. A great option is to stop here while exploring the Apostle Islands or the Bayfield area. Once inside the park, follow the main road past the ranger station until it ends at the parking lot, where you'll find restrooms and the Doughboy Trailhead. This is a beautiful park and well worth the stop, especially if you plan it alongside other northern Wisconsin adventures.

Our guide Josh was no exception. What a fun day we had on Lake Superior kayaking with Josh through the sea caves and along the amazing shoreline of the Apostle Islands!

We didn't mind cause he provided us with some extra entertainment by demonstrating different types of kayak rolls underwater! It was an incredibly memorable day. It was just Josh and the four of us.
