  • Groceries

    We highly recommend guests shop and bring the bulk of their groceries prior to arriving on the island. However, fresh organic fruits and vegetables grown on Madeline Island can be found and are seasonally available at the downtown farmer’s market on Fridays or at the Harvestor’s Wagon on Mondays.

    Forgot something? Darlings Grocery located downtown also offers a variety of options for dry goods and various grocery items.

    For farm to table meals, enjoy the following restaurants on the island:

    Farmhouse

    Cafe Seiche

  • Explore

    Get grounded by hiking Madeline Island’s Big Bay State Park along the cliffs of Lake Superior or canoe through the park’s lagoon, Big Bay Sand Spit and Bog. End your hike by taking a dip into the healing waters of Lake Superior from the park’s various beaches.
