Drummond Ski Trails is a cross-country ski trail in the Washburn Ranger District of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in northern Wisconsin, managed by the Forest Service. The route is short and gentle, about 1.5 miles round trip with a total climb of about 150 feet, so it works well as a quick outing or a warm-up before heading farther into the backcountry. Winter is the season for skiing here. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond show January highs around 19°F and lows near 3°F, while February is similar at about 25°F and 6°F. By March, temperatures climb to around 37°F by day, which is the last month of consistent winter conditions. The North Country Trail passes about 0.7 miles away and offers a longer cross-country option. Lake Owen Recreation Area, roughly 1.7 miles off, has lake fishing. For overnight stays, Two Lakes Campground is about 3.2 miles away, and Eighteen Mile Spring is a hike about 3.9 miles away.
