About the Town of Drummond
Located in northwest Wisconsin, Bayfield County, on Highway 63, the town of Drummond is surrounded by the Chequamegon (she-wahm-eh-gon)-Nicolet National Forest. The township of Drummond is sixteen miles by sixteen miles and approximately 80% of the township is Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. Population of Drummond township is 574 but greatly expands in the summer with cabin residents and tourists.
In the summer it is great fun to explore, fish, and swim in the areas 55 lakes totaling 3,179 acres. Experience the wonder of the forest by hiking the North Country Trail or the Drummond Woods (big timber area at the edge of the town of Drummond).
In the fall, the forest becomes a picture perfect display of beautiful colors with leaves of all shades of yellows, reds, oranges, greens, and browns. Absoluetly breath-taking as the eyes take in the colors and the body senses the changes in the air. Hunters come to the area in the fall to hunt for bear, deer, and small game.
During the winter, the lakes become fun for ice fishing as well as skiing and snowmobiling. There are several trails in the forest for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Snowmobilers will find miles of nearby groomed trails. Downhill skiing is available at Telemark, just outside of the neighboring town of Cable and at Mt. Ashwabay just north of Washburn (approximately 45 miles north of Drummond).
