TRAIL STATS Distance: 2.63 mi Elevation gain: 63 ft Duration: 45 min Location: Mainland Unit · Wisconsin CHAPTERS 0:00 Intro 0:23 Meyers Beach trailhead 5:00 Clifftop boardwalk 15:00 Sea cave overlooks 25:00 Turnaround point 38:20 Return — Lake Superior views 43:00 Outro ABOUT THIS PLACE • 1.1 BILLION YEARS: The red sandstone bluffs are Devonian-era Chequamegon Sandstone — laid down a billion years ago in a shallow inland sea. • WAVES + ICE: Lake Superior's storm waves and freeze-thaw cycles have hollowed sea caves, arches, and overhangs along this coastline. • EST. 1970: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore: 22 islands + 12 miles of mainland coast, protected as a national lakeshore in 1970. • ICE CAVES: When the lake freezes solid (rare since 2014), the caves become walk-in ice cathedrals — a once-in-a-decade event. • 2 MI · 43 MIN: Clifftop trail above the caves — best done in summer for sea-kayak views below. Full hike on the channel.
