Wisconsin isn’t exactly known around the world for its beautiful bodies of water. But for the people who know and love Wisconsin, they understand just how gorgeous our lakes and rivers truly are. They are great for fishing, boating, and just experiencing. Today we want to highlight one of the very best bodies of water. We’re talking about the beach at Big Bay State Park in Ashland, Wisconsin.

It is located on Madeline Island, the largest of the Apostle Islands.
