The Charm of Lake Superior
As a local of Ashland, Wisconsin, I cannot help but boast about the stunning beauty and endless recreation opportunities that our town has to offer. Situated on the southern shore of Lake Superior, Ashland is truly a gem for outdoor enthusiasts. With over 300 miles of shoreline, the charm and grandeur of the largest freshwater lake in the world is unparalleled. Its crystal clear waters, golden sand beaches and rugged cliffs make it the perfect spot for a peaceful and rejuvenating getaway. And the best part? It's just a stone's throw away from downtown Ashland.
Fishing and Boating
If you have a passion for fishing, then Ashland is the place to be. Our town is known for its world-class fishing, especially for the elusive Lake trout, steelhead and salmon. With a variety of inland lakes, rivers and streams in addition to Lake Superior, there is no shortage of fishing options here. And if fishing isn't your cup of tea, you can always rent a boat and explore the lake on your own. Imagine the thrill of cruising around the largest Great Lake and soaking in the panoramic views of the horizon. It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you do not want to miss.

With varying degree of difficulty, these trails will take you through forests, along the lakeshore and even up some of the highest peaks in Wisconsin.
