Washburn...dazzling beaches, crisp waves, breathtaking sunrises, burning fall colors, pristine lakes and miles of rivers for canoeing, swimming, fishing and paddling. Your destination, a town rich in history, is sure to captivate you and your family.
Washburn's north coast offers an assortment of simple pleasures for visitors. There is a scenic, lakeside hiking trail in town and recreational trails for hiking, biking, ATV riding and snowmobiling nearby. We offer two lakeside parks with campgrounds, and the "Big Lake" - Superior, for sailing, boating and year-round fishing experiences.
This historic town has interesting shops, wood carvings, pottery, paintings and old books. Washburn is home to the Washburn Cultural Center, an 1890s three-story brownstone building, featuring local history, art exhibits and a unique gift shop.
Full of activities for young and old alike, Washburn readily invites you to explore our community, share in the activities and events, and get a sense of our history.
