Outdoor FunBiking - Whether you’re looking for a quiet road to explore the fall colors or a single track mountain bike trail, you’re sure to find some stunning fall colors when you bike in Washburn County. Be sure to check out the Wild Cat Mountain Bike Trail for a great fall mountain bike ride. For some road route options, stop by the visitor center for the bike route map.

Birchwood Canoe Portage Routes - Known to many as the “mini boundary waters”, the Sawmill Campground offers two canoe portage routes which explore a number of glacial lakes. These mapped portage routes are located in a dense parcel of county forest land with stunning fall colors. If you’re a canoe enthusiast and this isn’t on your bucket list yet, trust us, you want to check it out!

Golfing - Fall is the perfect time to get out and enjoy a good game of golf. Washburn County’s golf courses are even more stunning during peak fall color. Three courses are located in the county and there are several others nearby as well. Check out our website for a full list of courses.

Hiking & Wildlife Viewing - You can’t get any closer to the fall color than by taking a hike in the woods of Washburn County. We have over 100 miles of designated hiking trails, so there are plenty of options. Two of our top picks for fall are the Trego Nature Trail which follows a portion of the Namekagon River. Another is the Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary’s trail system. You’ll find 13 miles of loops there, plus other great nature programming and activities throughout the fall season.

Horseback Riding - A leisurely horseback ride through the for-ests and meadows of Washburn County is a great way to spend a fall afternoon. The local riding stable, Hoofbeat Ridge Ranch, offers a variety of rides during the fall season. If you have your own horse, be sure to check out the Dugan Run Horseback Trails & Campgrounds.

Namekagon River: Wisconsin’s Moving National Park- Roughly 45 miles of the nearly 100 mile, Namekagon River, flow through Washburn County. Canoeing and kayaking are popular fall activities after the summer traffic has headed home. Maps are available at the Washburn County Visitor Center to help you plan your trip.
