The piece highlights hiking the Meyers Beach Sea Caves Trail and visiting local orchards, emphasizing that Bayfield’s remote setting and limited industry help keep lake vacations here more budget-friendly than many coastal hotspots.
   

• Light tower in Apostle Islands will be dismantled (superiortelegram.com) — A historic light tower at Chequamegon Point in the Apostle Islands will be dismantled this summer after erosion left it at risk of collapsing into Lake Superior, a change Bayfield-area boaters will notice. Officials say safety and heritage preservation guided the decision, while a longtime Bayfield fisherman’s reminder that “the lake is the boss” underscores how Superior keeps reshaping local landmarks.
