Barker's Island Inner Beach is a picturesque 6.74-acre public recreational area located in Superior, Wisconsin, offering 1,400 feet of Lake Superior shoreline. The beach underwent a significant restoration project in 2018, which included enhancements to reduce bacteria levels, improve stormwater management, and enhance wildlife deterrence. The project also added new amenities such as a raised boardwalk, additional parking, and restroom facilities. Visitors can enjoy activities like bird watching, hiking, and beach use, with nearby attractions including the SS Meteor Maritime Museum and mini-golf facilities.
The beach's restoration was part of a broader effort to improve the St. Louis River's water quality, aiming to remove its Area of Concern designation. The area is well-maintained, with ongoing monitoring for E. coli levels to ensure safety for visitors.
With its scenic views and improved facilities, Barker's Island Inner Beach offers a serene and enjoyable experience for both locals and tourists.
