Parks primer: Apostle Islands National Lakeshore
Visitors here can explore lighthouses and sea caves, paddle across deep blue water and hike through deep green forests. Finding solitude is easier here than at many national parks — 80 percent of Apostle Islands National Lakeshore is designated as federally protected wilderness. The Gaylord Nelson Wilderness — named in honor of the former governor and U.S. senator from Wisconsin who championed recreation of the park — is the largest wilderness area in Wisconsin. This is an element of MNN's 60 parks in 60 days project, a user's guide for America's incredible park system.
