Point to La Pointe
Open Water Swim
2.1 mile swim on Lake Superior - August 1, 2020
ScheduleFriday
SpectatorsThe swim course parallels the path of the Madeline Island Ferry for most of the 2.1 miles.
Spectators can watch the start of the race, then take the ferry over to the island and get a view of the race as it spreads out across the lake. The ferry landing dock on Madeline is about 3/4 miles from the finish. Event organizers will offer bus transportation from the ferry dock to the finish line so that spectators can watch the end of the race, but we strongly encourage spectators to walk. Extremely fast swimmers (under 50:00) might actually beat the ferry over, we will do our best to get their friends and loved ones to the finish line in time to see them finish! Get more information about information, prices, and schedules for the Madeline Island Ferry online or call 715-742-2051. Race Postponement & Cancellation PolicyThe Point to La Pointe Open Water Swim operates on a permit from the US Coast Guard. The safety of the swimmers and safety team is our top priority.
