Washburn Walking Trail Beach is located in the picturesque town of Washburn, Wisconsin, offering a serene and peaceful experience. The beach is approximately 0.5 miles long and features soft, white sand, making it perfect for relaxation and swimming. It is part of a larger scenic area that includes the Washburn Lakeshore Parkway and Walking Trail, a 1.34-mile non-motorized trail that weaves through beaches and bluffs, providing stunning views of the lakefront.
The trail extends from Thompson West End Park to Memorial Park, passing through the Washburn Marina and a ballpark, offering historical markers and access to three sandy beaches. This setup allows visitors to enjoy both beach activities and scenic walks.
The area is rich in history, with the Washburn Heritage Preservation Association working to preserve local heritage through publications like *Wood, Stone, and Water*.
