Washburn County - Maps 2 & 3

Washburn County is home to approximately 45 of the nearly 100 miles of the Namekagon River. With nearly half of the Namekagon flowing through Washburn County, it's no wonder why the area is a popular stop for folks visiting this little known national park. The Washburn County stretch of river begins between Hayward Landing and West River Landing and continues through Trego to Fritz Landing. 

Washburn County offers five outfitters, over 30 river-access campsites, and several resorts & campgrounds along the river.
