Stockholm, Wisconsin

You'll still find plenty of Petersons, Andersons and Ericksons in this Swedish-founded town (they originally made their living by fishing and harvesting ice on Lake Pepin).

Explore art galleries and shops, sample Scandinavian foods, and stay for one of the festivals that combine old-world heritage with new creative expression.Click ahead for more details on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in Stockholm.

Bayfield

Bayfield

Lake Superior adventure awaits visitors to this tiny town of 551 on the Bayfield Peninsula. Like jewels tossed into the sapphire water, the 21 Apostle Islands lie just offshore. On summer days, Bayfield's harbor is full of kayaks and tour boats going to and from the beaches, lighthouses and campsites in the legendary archipelago.More relaxed explorers ride ferries to Madeline Island, the only inhabited Apostle, which offers shops, a renowned beach, a museum and places to eat. The shops, inns and restaurants of Bayfield look down from hills along the lake. The surrounding peninsula is marked by pay-on-your-honor berry and apple stands and an absence of chain stores. Summer nights bring performing arts under the old-fashioned Big Top Chautauqua tent.Click ahead for more details on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in Bayfield.

Hayward Lakes

Hayward Lakes
Credit: Photo Courtesy of Hayward Lakes Visitors and Convention Bureau

Lots of things in Hayward don't change from one year to the next. The rugged serenity of the North Woods, the giant muskie at the fishing museum, the Lumberjack Show, the iffy cell service outside town. Those traditions bring families back for their ritual wind-down, fish-from-a-quiet-boat vacations.But it would be a mistake to say nothing changes in Hayward. A Pete Dye-designed course at Big Fish Golf Club got national buzz when it opened in 2005. Three hundred miles of mapped off-road biking means you'll see as many SUVs with bikes strapped on the back as you'll see towing boats. And come winter, you'll find 600 miles of snowmobile trails and the American Birkebeiner, North America's largest cross-country ski race (birkie.com).Click ahead for more details on what to do, where to eat and where to stay in Hayward Lakes.
