Ashland (Wisconsin)

Ashland is at the top of Wisconsin, stretched out along Lake Superior's Chequamegon Bay. Located at the intersection of U.S. Hwy. 2 and Wisconsin Hwy. 13 just over an hour east of the Twin Ports of Superior, Wisconsin and Duluth, Minnesota, Ashland is perched as the major commercial center for the surrounding area. Though relatively small (2000 U.S. Census population of 8,695), Ashland and the surrounding area are home to a vibrant community of thinkers, artists, musicians and alternative farmers, due in part to the presence of environmental science leader Northland College.

Travel to Ashland (Wisconsin)

With the recent addition of numerous passing lanes between Ashland and the Twin Ports and the impact of the lack of any 4-lane highways in and out of town (save for a small stretch of U.S. 2 and WI 13 west of town) has been lessened somewhat. The major routes to the city include:

• From the west, U.S. Highway 2 via Iron River (27 miles), Superior (65 miles) and Duluth (70 miles). Also connecting to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis/St. Paul via Interstate 35 (215 miles).
• From the north, WI Highway 13 via Washburn (11 miles) and Bayfield (23 miles)
• From the east, U.S. Highway 2 via Ironwood (38 miles) and Michigan's Upper Peninsula
• From the south, WI Highway 13 via Mellen (24 miles) and Park Falls (60 miles)
