Washburn...dazzling beaches, crisp waves, breathtaking sunsets, burning fall colors, pristine lakes and miles of rivers and streams for canoeing, swimming, fishing and kayaking. Your destination, a town rich in history, lore, and a wide variety of activities that are sure to captivate you and your family.

Washburn's north coast offers an assortment of simple pleasures for visitors. There is a scenic, lakeside hiking trail in town and recreational trails for hiking, biking, ATV riding and snowmobiling nearby. We offer two lakeside parks with campgrounds, and the "Big Lake" - Superior, for sailing, boating and year 'round fishing experiences.

This historic town has interesting antique shops, wood carvings, pottery, paintings and old books. Washburn is home to the Washburn Historical Museum and Cultural Arts Center, an 1890s three-story brownstone building, featuring local history, art exhibits and a unique gift shop.

Full of activities for young and old alike, Washburn readily invites you to explore our community, share in the activities and events, and get a sense of our history.
