Madeline Island has the least impressive sea cave of any that we tour, but has a rich cultural history.
Originally called Mooniingwanekaaning (“The island
Abundant with Yellow-shafted Norther Flicker”), the island was inhabited
for hundreds of years by the La Pointe Band of Lake Superior Chippewa,
an Ojibwa band of the Lake Superior Chippewa. The Caves on Madeline
Island are located at Big Bay State Park.
