Washburn County: Your Home For Fun


Washburn County is Northwest Wisconsin's home for fun, whether you're looking for an adventure for the whole family or a grown-up getaway. If you've only been here during the summer, you're missing out! Washburn County towns like Chicog and Shell Lake have something for everyone to enjoy throughout every season. Here are some of the highlights:


  • Agritourism
  • There's no better time than springtime to visit independent farms. The beautiful farmlands of Washburn County are home to farms that feature everything from flowers and vegetables to heritage-breed pigs. Many farms offer on-site shopping so you can take home the freshest goods.

  • Watersports
  • Whether you're cruising the lake on a pontoon, tearing it up on a wakeboard, or trolling for fish, there's no shortage of places to do it. When you've worked up an appetite, check out one of the many restaurants on the lakes that offer free boat parking so you can dock and dine.

  • Hiking
  • With more than 100 miles of hiking trails, Washburn County offers amazing opportunities to get out into the woods. With trails accessible to hikers of any level, you can indulge in everything from birdwatching and leaf-peeping to challenging hikes that wind through Wisconsin's most scenic natural areas.

  • Fatbiking, Snowshoeing, Ice Fishing, And More
  • Winter doesn't mean that Washburn County goes into hibernation. There are tons of winter-only activities that can coax even the most reluctant out into the snow. Both engine-powered and people-powered options are on the menu: think snowmobiling, winter hiking and snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, and of course, ice fishing.


In addition to all of these activities, Washburn County also offers a wide array of shopping and dining experiences. From greasy spoons to formal dining rooms, you're bound to find something that satisfies everyone. If the retail therapy bug strikes, you can find everything from hidden boutiques and specialty craft stores to antique shops, art galleries, and independent bookstores. And of course, there are plenty of places to pick up the basics.
