Tony Wise Trail

Tony Wise Trail is a short, moderate cross-country ski route in Bayfield County Forest, on county land in northern Wisconsin. The trail is an out-and-back that covers about 0.2 miles, with a high point of 1,485 feet and a low of 1,478 feet. The total climb is about 25 feet, so it's a nearly flat route that makes an easy addition to a longer outing in the area. Winter is the natural season for this trail. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Drummond, WI, show January highs around 19°F with lows near 3°F, while February runs a little warmer at about 25°F. The station sits roughly 145 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run slightly cooler. Several other ski routes lie close by. North End Classic Trail is about 0.2 miles away, Cadillac Road is about 0.4 miles away, and the Tony Wise route is about 0.5 miles away. For time off the snow, the Namekagon River offers river fishing about 1.6 miles away.
