Apostle Island Exploration

Study the struggle for balance between tourism and conservation in this National Lakeshore with the National Park Service.  Enjoy a guided exploration of the Madeline Island Museum and a 3 hour boat cruise on the University Research Vessel, the L.L. Smith Jr., during the beautiful spring season, passing by lighthouses and seacaves, wildlife and maybe an ore boat or two!  Learn about this incredible area from the people who live here and learn about their way of life now and how it was in the past.
