Devils Island Light stands at the northernmost point of Wisconsin’s Apostle Islands, guiding vessels through Lake Superior since 1891. The lighthouse is notable for its cylindrical steel tower and the dramatic sea caves carved into the red sandstone cliffs below — among the most photographed formations in the Great Lakes. The automated light remains active today, though the station is not open to public climbing. Visitors can view the lighthouse by kayak or excursion boat from Bayfield. Late September through October offers the best photography, when fall color meets moody lake skies. Nearby, explore the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, the Bayfield waterfront, and Madeline Island, accessible by a short ferry ride.
