Korte Inn is a cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 1.8 miles from the town of Cable. The route is short and flat, with a total round-trip distance of about 0.22 miles and a total climb of about 24 feet, so it works well as a quick stop or a warm-up before heading out on longer trails in the area. Winter is the natural season for this kind of skiing. 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. The station sits a few hundred feet lower than the route, so temperatures on the trail may run slightly cooler. The Birkie Classic lies just 0.1 mile away, and the Old Korte Trail and Roller are each about 0.2 mile off. For a change of pace, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about 0.8 mile away.
