Washburn is also centrally located between numerous attractions in nearby Bayfield and Ashland like the Great Lakes Visitor Center, Ashland's Mural Walk, Big Top Chautauqua, Apostle Islands, Madeline Island, some great golf courses, to name just a few.
In the fall color season a nice circle drive is taking County C north past Mount Valhalla to the seaside village of Cornucopia. Then go east on Highway 13 to the Apostle Island Park at Little Sand Bay (via Cty K), then south to Bayfield and its Orchards and then returning to Washburn. For more info see our fall color tour map here.
Lakeshore Parkway and Walking Trail
|
The lakeshore trail is quite convenient for visitors and guests of The Washburn Inn and the Harbor View Event Center. |
< < < A family of bears amid a few other creatures. Bears are here and there and everywhere.

< < < As we wander deeper into the village, we encounter surprises everywhere. Signs welcome you to a peaceful little garden and grape arbor where you can relax on a bench or chair - as long as this mean looking Muskie doesn't bother you! |

If you are traveling in the Upper Peninsula, another fun stop with unique art is the Da Yoopers Tourist Trap. Unlike Bill's Museum, you can't buy the "art" but certainly can enjoy it. |
