Town of Russell, Bayfield County, Wisconsin — This is pretty much as far north as you can go in Wisconsin without taking a boat to the Apostle Islands. Near Little Sand Bay, a dirt road called Point Detour Road comes to an end near Lake Superior. At the end of the road is a little path to this wooden staircase, which leads down to the rocks on the edge of Lake Superior.

As we finished climbing back up these stairs, a Bald Eagle flew out of the trees and swooped over our heads.
