    Hiking

    The Meyers Beach Sea Caves have been sculpted out of the soft sandstone layer of the Lake Superior Sea Cliffs by the action of waves and repeated cycles of freezing and thawing. In the summer they can be visited either by kayak or foot. In the winter, the caves are called Ice Caves and can be seen by foot by walking on the surface of frozen Lake Superior.

    Hiking

    The Meyers Beach Caves, part of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore on Lake Superior, are among Wisconsin’s most spectacular natural attractions. In summer, paddlers launch kayaks from Meyers Beach to explore the towering sandstone cliffs, arches, and tunnels about a mile offshore. Those who prefer land can hike the Lakeshore Trail, reaching the first cliff-top overlooks of the caves in 2 to 2.5 miles. In winter, when conditions allow, the formations transform into dazzling ice caves filled with frozen waterfalls and icicles. Parking, toilets, and trail access are available at Meyers Beach, with a small fee required. A year-round treasure.
