[Box found 9/10/09. The end of trail sign has been moved to the far side of the ravine. The log is still there to provide a reference point. --Choi]
Ojibwe Indians called this place home long before white settlors appeared. They traveled by canoe throughout the Apostle Islands. In Bayfield, a ferry now takes people accoss the lake to Madeline Island. On the same street in Bayfield that leads to the Madeline Island ferry dock there is a park where an iron bridge stands over a ravine and a nature trail starts. Follow the nature trail as it follows the right side of the creek. You will eventually come to a bench that is seven steps up from the path. On the other side of the bench steps is a retaining wall of about five beams (same beams used for the bench steps). Walk along that retaining wall until you get to the end and then count 34 normal steps and you will get to a path on the left that goes down a little closer to the creek. Fairly soon you will come to a sign that says end of trail. When I was there in June 2008, there was a log across the trail about two, three feet in front of the sign. With the log behind you, count three steps back up the trail. (If you are counting back from the sign (count five steps). Stop and take a compass reading of 100 degrees. You will see a large rock with a log in front and a log to the left. In the corner of the two logs is the letterbox. Have fun. I just love this area of Wisconsin.
