Nonesuch Trail is a cross-country ski route in Porcupine Mountains Wilderness State Park in Wisconsin, managed by State Park and Recreation. The trail is about 1.3 miles long and rated moderate, with a total climb of 354 feet over the out-and-back route. The steepest stretch comes at about 0.6 miles, with a 7% grade. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ontonagon, Michigan, show January highs around 25°F with lows near 9°F, while February is slightly milder at about 30°F. The station sits at the same elevation as the trail's high point, so those figures are a fair guide to conditions on the route. The trail sits right next to the Porcupine Mountains Winter Sports Complex, about 0.2 miles away. Deer Yard Trail and Superior Loop Crosscut are both within half a mile, and the Triple trail across the state line in Michigan is about 0.8 miles off.
