Flying

For commercial flights we recommend Duluth International Airport (DLH), which is the closest Regional Airport (approximately 90 miles from Bayfield, WI).

It is serviced by Delta and United Airlines as well as all major car rental agencies.

Delta offers five daily flights from Minneapolis to Duluth. United has five daily flights from Chicago to Duluth. The frequency of these connections makes it easy to schedule your travel.

If you have a private plane, Madeline Island has its own small airport.
