Drummond Ski Trails is a cross-country ski loop of about 1.4 miles, set within the Washburn Ranger District of Wisconsin's Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest. The route is a loop that starts and ends near the same elevation, with a low point of about 1,360 feet and a high of about 1,436 feet, and the steepest stretch comes around 1.1 miles into the trip. Winter is the natural season here. Typical averages from the nearby Drummond weather station show January highs around 19°F and lows near 3°F, while February runs about 25°F by day and 6°F at night. That station sits a few hundred feet below the trail, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly cooler. The North Country Trail passes about 0.6 miles away, and Lake Owen Recreation Area is about 1.3 miles off. Two Lakes campground lies about 2.6 miles away, and Eighteen Mile Spring is about 3.2 miles from the trail.
