Find Winter Fun Outdoors
Find the best fun in Bayfield County outdoors! There are more than more than a dozen trail systems dedicated to cross-country skiing, fat biking, and snowmobiling. One trail even offers a great spot for downhill skiing and tubing.

Howl Adventure Center
Bayfield County has some trails dedicated to dog sledding, and the Howl Adventure Center will help you enjoy every mile of it. John talks about the tours that Howl/Wolfsong Adventures offers, where you’ll get to meet the dogs, harness them up, learn about steering and braking the sled, and have an exhilarating experience on the trails. Plus he gives us a little tidbit on the new adventure center coming to Bayfield County next year.
