Ashland County, Wisconsin

Ashland Location Map Wisconsin

Ashland County is up in northern Wisconsin. It’s a place where the forests meet Lake Superior. It has a wild feel to it. The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest covers a good chunk of the area. Locals love to hunt, fish, and explore the great outdoors.

The county seat, Ashland, calls itself the “Historic Mural Capital of Wisconsin”. Murals everywhere tell the story of the area’s past. Lake Superior isn’t just pretty to look at. It’s a vital part of life here.

The Apostle Islands National Lakeshore brings in kayakers. They paddle out to explore sea caves and lighthouses. Winters are long and snowy, perfect for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. It’s not for everyone, but those who call it home wouldn’t have it any other way.
