Ashland, Wisconsin, a community of just over 8,000 people, is tucked along the south shore of Lake Superior and is just minutes away from the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore and a million acres of national forest.

Campus is an easy walk to downtown Ashland where students often hang out at the Black Cat Coffeehouse, the Bay Theater, or the food co-op and farmer’s market.

There’s no shortage of things to do on campus. Guest lectures, concerts, bonfires, disc golf, fitness center with climbing wall, our annual powwow—we have no doubt that you’ll find your place in our campus community.

We have a location like nowhere else on Earth. We’re surrounded by a million acres of forest and the largest freshwater lake in the world, both serving as living laboratories and natural playgrounds.

Whether you’re into hiking, kayaking, biking, skiing, fishing, hunting, or even dog sledding, Northland is in a prime location. The Northland Outpost has a wide range of rental gear, which means you can try your hand at all sorts of outdoor activities.
