Raspberry Island is one of the Apostle Islands in northern Wisconsin, in Lake Superior, and is part of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore.[1] The Raspberry Island Light is located on the island.
An island with the same name is in Teal Lake (Wisconsin) in Sawyer County. Raspberry Island is the only island in the Apostle Islands that does not have deer. The lighthouse was remodeled in 2006 by the National Park Service and cost over 1 million dollars. The lighthouse used to be inhabited by a keeper, his daughter and wife and his assistant. When working on the roof once one of his assistants fell off the roof. He was brought to land on the Bayfield and was fine and later returned to his work. The lighthouse family had horses, cows, and pigs. Now they do not. There is a small historical garden near the light that is maintained by the US Boy Scouts in Bayfield. The island does not have any wild raspberries, but the family used to grow them.
