If you’re planning your next vacation destination, you may not have to go far. In fact, you may not even have to leave Wisconsin.
Apostle Islands were recently named one of the “50 Best Places to Travel in 2025” by Travel + Leisure, earning a spot in the magazine’s “For Moments on the Water” category.
Nearly 120 destinations around the globe were reviewed by the travel magazine for its Nov. 21 list.
“To make it on our list requires more than just a hotly anticipated opening or two,” the magazine said. “These are places that feel of the moment, whether that’s because they offer unparalleled access to the outdoors, a cultural immersion you can’t find anywhere else, a pulse-quickening hit of excitement, or the sort of blissful luxury only a true five-star property can deliver.”
The travel magazine dubbed Lake Superior’s group of 21 islands a “peaceful getaway for boating, fishing, and camping, also noting the islands’ connections to the Ojibwe tribe.

What are the Apostle Islands?
The Apostle Islands are on Lake Superior, off of the Bayfield Peninsula in northern Wisconsin, according to the U.S. National Park Service.
The islands offer a variety of activities for visitors to enjoy, ranging from ice caves to kayaking to cruises.

Are the Apostle Islands a national park?
No, they is currently designated as a national lakeshore. However, legislation was introduced in late July to upgrade its designation to a national park. Tribal leaders and residents have since pushed back on the proposal.
