What it’s like
The place. Cornucopia is a very small community in Bayfield County, Wisconsin, on the shore of Lake Superior. Its quiet size means neighbors tend to know one another. Winters are colder than in most of the country, while summers are mild and pleasant, and the area receives a good deal of rain and melted snow over the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, or in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Others work in shops or in manufacturing. Work in the area is closely tied to the services that keep a small community running.
Things to do. Siskiwit Lake is a lake a short drive away, a good place for a quiet afternoon outdoors. Big Bay State Park, a protected area a longer drive away, offers a chance to spend time among the woods and shoreline. Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, also a protected area a longer drive away, is a well-known stretch of Lake Superior coastline worth the trip.
