Road Trips | Islands Edition
Islands you can drive to. For real.
Big Bay State Park on Madeline Island
Let’s assume you’re reading this at work. Stuck in a cubicle the color of kitty litter. If you were to leave—just leave!—and get in your car rightnow, you could be soaking up sand, sun and slushy drinks by nightfall. On an island. No, not Mackinac—not that we have anything against tooling around in horse-drawn carriages. These four islands, all within driving distance, are a bit more obscure—from the one that serves beer in beach pails to the one that serves up quirky Canadian-isms (and a whole lot of local wine). Trust us, you won’t miss the palm trees.
Tour sea caves, take shots at Tom’s Burned Down Cafe and train for a 2.1-mile swim across Lake Superior on this tiny Wisconsin island.
