Legendary Waters Resort Casino
Legendary Waters Resort Casino is operated by the Red Cliff Band of Lake Superior Chippewa just outside Bayfield, on the southern coast of Lake Superior near the Apostle Islands. It is the northernmost casino in Wisconsin and is eligible to add sports betting under an updated compact.
Sportsbook Status
No retail sportsbook is currently live at Legendary Waters. Red Cliff is one of eight Wisconsin tribes expected to negotiate sports-betting compact provisions under 2025 Wisconsin Act 247.
Location
The casino sits along the Lake Superior shoreline, three miles north of Bayfield. It is a peak-summer tourism destination tied to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and a year-round draw for fishing and ferry traffic to Madeline Island.
What’s Likely at Launch
- Retail counter and kiosks inside the resort casino

Operator Background
The Red Cliff Band is one of 11 federally recognized tribes in Wisconsin. The tribe’s reservation is on the Bayfield Peninsula, directly adjacent to the Bad River Reservation to the southeast.
