One of my favorite places on earth; Big Bay State Park, Apostle Islands, Wisconsin. The water here is unmatched in its clarity, freshness, sparkle and beauty (in my humble opinion). I do enjoy the ocean, but having grown up swimming in fresh water lakes and swimming in this most beautiful and majestic lake (and the largest lake in the world, too!), I simply gravitate to the cool freshness of a Midwestern lake. That sail boat in the distance is my Dad’s boat, and our transportation to this Madeline Island beach and that little person bobbing in the lake is my nine-year-old daughter, who I believe is part fish.
