Upcoming Dates
Winter Fun
Head to the Slopes
Ski, snowshoe, or even fat-tire bike through whispering pines at the Valhalla Recreation Area in Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Take to the slopes at nearby Mt. Ashwabay, or head ninety minutes east to the mountains of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.
Water, Water Everywhere
It’s no secret that the largest freshwater lake in the world makes for incredible water-based adventures. Fish to your heart’s content on Long Lake. Cool down during a hot afternoon by paddleboarding out on the Bay. Kayak to the sea caves along the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore. Take the Madeline Island Ferry from Bayfield over to Madeline Island.
Eat Well
Good local food can be found all throughout the Chequamegon Bay region. Enjoy the vegan nachos at the Black Cat Coffeehouse in Ashland, satisfy your sweet tooth at Café Coco in Washburn, and grab a fresh ice cream sandwich at Tetzner’s Dairy on your way between the two!
Shop Locally
There are dozens of great places to spend your money while in the area. Some of our favorites are outdoor outfitters Solstice Outdoors and Howl Adventure Center, the gaming store Play Unplugged, and Eckels Pottery.
