North End Classic Trail is a cross-country ski route in Bayfield County Forest, on county land in northern Wisconsin. The trail is about half a mile long and is rated moderate, with a total climb of about 110 feet over the out-and-back route. The trail starts at about 1,540 feet and reaches a high point of about 1,560 feet, with the steepest stretch at about 0.35 miles in. The most comfortable months for skiing are typically January and February, when typical averages from the nearby Drummond weather station run from highs around 19°F to 25°F and lows near 3°F to 6°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run a little cooler. Tony Wise Trail lies just 0.1 mile away, and Old Korte West and Old Korte East are each about half a mile off. For fishing, the Namekagon River is roughly 1.8 miles away.
