Telehenge is a short, flat cross-country ski route in northern Wisconsin, about 2.4 miles from the town of Cable. The trail is an out-and-back of roughly 0.36 miles, with a high point of 1,396 feet and a low of 1,384 feet. The climb is nearly flat, with a total gain and loss of about 11 feet each, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.12 miles in, with a grade of about 2 percent. Winter is the natural season for this route. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while March runs warmer, with highs around 37°F. Summer is mild, with July highs near 76°F and lows around 56°F. The Deck and Hovland Loop are both within a quarter mile, and Elevator Shaft is about 0.2 miles away, so it's easy to link several short routes together. For a change of pace, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about 1.3 miles away.
