Bayfield County is located on the border of Wisconsin and Minnesota not far from Duluth Minnesota making it easy for tourists to take advantage of all the nearby attractions including Big Manitou Falls State Park which features a breathtaking waterfall view along Agate Creek Gorge right near Washburn, WI where you can enjoy fishing and kayaking opportunities galore.. Other outdoor activities include hiking, camping and cross--country skiing while agriculture plays an integral role in Bayfield’s economy through beef cattle ranching as well as crop production like potatoes that are grown mostly for seed purposes but can still be enjoyed fresh from local farmer’s markets during peak season
