Washburn Chamber of Commerce 2022 Visitor Guide

Table of Contents 3 Discover Washburn Washburn, known as the “Little Town on the Big Lake,” is a hidden gem in Northern WI. Our location on the Bayfield Peninsula allows us to be the center of adventure for the south shore. In Washburn, you are a short drive away from many sites & attractions. No matter the season, there is always something to see, do or explore. Tucked between the shore of the Chequamegon Bay of Lake Superior and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest there is no shortage of space for you to spread out and enjoy all the natural beauty of the area. Highway 13, which is part of the Wisconsin Lake Superior National Scenic Byway, runs right through town. Our downtown is home to award winning restaurants & bars, beautiful art galleries, a local brewery, retail shops, and more. Although summertime is when most people plan their visits, each season has its own unique experiences. Take your pick of motor sports or silent sports. You can explore by land, water or by ice in the winter months too. We have a variety of local lodging options that would exceed anybody’s expectations. No big chains here! Everything from campgrounds and cabins to your standard hotel / motel can be found in Washburn. Feel like you are right at home when you visit, since most of our accommodations are actually homes and cabins that allow you the peace, quiet & privacy you can’t get in your typical tourist destination. While you are in town, be sure to stop into the Washburn Area Chamber of Commerce building located at 100 W. Bayfield Street for maps, brochures and more information about local events, activities and lodging. We have souvenirs too. We are excited to welcome you to Washburn!
