Long Island (Wisconsin)

Long Island (Wisconsin)

Long Island is an island in Lake Superior in Wisconsin usually identified with the Apostle Islands. It is geologically different from the other islands, though, in that it is actually just an extension of the spit off Chequamegon Point. [ [http://www.uwgb.edu/birds/shorebird/Sites/longisland.htm Wisconsin Shorebird Survey Contacts ] ] It is a part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.

The island is 6.4 km long and between 75 and 380 meters wide. [ [http://homepages.cae.wisc.edu/~chinwu/GLE401/web/Bruce/caseone.html Case Studies: Long Island, Apostle Islands, Wis. (Lake Superior) - A COMPARISON OF OCEANIC BARRIER SYSTEMS AND GREAT LAKES BARRIER SYSTEMS ] ]
