Snowshoeing the hiking trails of the Chequemagon National Forest has been our favorite Northern Wisconsin wintertime activity. We first snowshoe hiked out to the Bayfield Wisconsin & Apostle Island Ice Caves in 2007. In reality, that year the trail was pretty well packed so we didn't need our snowshoes, but a set of ski poles helped manage the ice. That winter we had also hoped to snowshoe hiking trails at Amnicon Falls and Copper Falls State Parks. But the lack of snow in this area changed our plans. In later years there was plenty of snow for snowmobile, ski and snowshoe trails (see Mount Ashwabay), and for the annual Bayfield-Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race.

In addition to snowshoeing, other popular wintertime activities along the south shore include cross country skiing, snowmobiling, sled dog races, ice fishing and catching the various winter festivals.

Below are many of the 2022-23 Wisconsin winter events along the Lake Superior shore communities we know are taking place from Superior, WI to Hurley-Ironwood, plus a link to the wisconsin snow conditions report page.

Winter is a great time to enjoy Wisconsin's northwoods and the Lake Superior shore. You can get some healthy exercise, friendly ambience, and see views and sights not easily seen during the other seasons. One winter weekend we scored a two-for-one, a trek out to the Bayfield Ice Caves and attending the Apostle Islands Sled Dog Race. On our to-do list for the future is attending the "Book Across the Bay" ski and snowshoe event in Ashland.
