Deep Water Grille and
South Shore Brewery 808 West Main Street Ashland, WI 54806 715.682.4200 |

on your way to/from Bayfield and the Apostle Islands. 50-minute
drive from Bear Hug. Excellent food, brewery. Choose your ale!! Take Route
2 West 44 miles into Ashley, Wisconsin. Turn left onto
MacArthur Ave. Take first right onto Main St. West. Deep Water
Grille is on the left. While in Ashland, stop by the The Hotel Chequamegon (you drive right by it on Route 2) and have a drink on the patio overlooking Lake Superior! Address: 101 Lake Shore Drive West; Ashland, WI 54806 |
|
Ethel's at 250 250 Rittenhouse Ave. PO 1531 Bayfield, WI 58414 715.779.0293 |
Stop here when you visit Bayfield. Great food with friendly owners Bill and Sally, located right in the main part of this quaint town. Pizza, pasta, and more. Largest tap beer selection in Bayfield. Call ahead for priority seating. Owned and operated by a neat couple who sold everything after raising a family, worked for the Red Cross for a year, and then refurbished this old building and started a business. Neat place. | |
|
Konteka Black Bear Resort Hwy 64 & Main White Pine, MI 49971 906.885.5170 |
45-minute drive. On the snowmobile trail. In the summer, see real, live, black bears! They feed the bears so the big, well-fed, bears come out to eat and you can watch them from your inside table. Food was pretty good, too, but the real draw is to see bears. Take Route 2 East to Wakefield. | |
|
Gateway
Lodge 4103 Hwy B Land O' Lakes, WI 54540 715-547-3321 |
We found this place when we were biking the 3.2 bike trail in Land O' Lakes, Wisconsin. It's about an hour's drive. Take Route 2 east to Watersmeet and then take Route 45 south. Turn right onto Hwy B. It's right there on your left. If you continue north on Highway B, you'll go by the cutest shop in just a mile or two called Rustic Cabin Studio. About 6 more miles north on B is the Forest Lake Country Store and the 3.2 tree-covered paved bike path is just north of the Country Store. | |
