Point to La Pointe 

Open Water Swim on Lake Superior - August 7, 2021

Open Water Swim to Madeline Island

Saturday, August 7, 2021
​
Swimming to Madeline Island has been a storied feat around the Bayfield area for decades. Starting as a community swim for 24 people in 2006, the Point to La Pointe has grown into a thriving race that sells out annually at 550 swimmers. Safety is our first priority and we are making many changes in 2021 to provide a quality experience for everyone involved. At the heart of our plan is a new one time only 5K coastal route in order to ease congestion for both swimmers and spectators.

About the Area

Bayfield is a small city of 475 on the shores of Lake Superior in northern Wisconsin. It’s the gateway to the pristine beauty of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, with camping, kayaking, trails, sea caves, and beaches.

​Madeline Island has long been a vacation destination as the only one of 22 Apostle Islands that is inhabited year-round, serviced by the Madeline Island Ferry Line. August is the ideal time to experience the beautiful scenery, clean air and water, friendly people and waiting adventures of the region.
