Cadillac Road

Cadillac Road is a short, easy cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 2.5 miles from the town of Cable. The out-and-back trip covers roughly 0.78 miles, with a total climb of 282 feet and a high point of 1,631 feet. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.23 miles in, with a grade of 11 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while February runs a little milder at about 25°F. That station sits roughly 290 feet lower than the route's high point, so temperatures on the road run a bit cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. Hovland Loop is about 0.3 miles away and Tony Wise Trail about 0.4 miles. Bauer is about half a mile off. For a change of pace, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about 1.4 miles away.
