Drummond is a town in southern Bayfield County in northwest Wisconsin, set inside the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest along U.S. Highway 63 between Cable and the county forest lands. It is an active Wisconsin town (governed by an elected town board of a chair and two supervisors) covering about 137 square miles of land, with an unincorporated village center organized by the Census Bureau as the Drummond CDP. Its identity is built almost entirely on Northwoods outdoor recreation: it is the trailhead community for the Rainbow Lake Wilderness, Drummond Woods old-growth forest, Lake Owen, the North Country National Scenic Trail, and the CAMBA mountain-bike network. Children attend the small Drummond Area School District (Lumberjacks), and the town supports a public library, historical museum, and visitor center. Its 2020 Census population was 544 (Wisconsin DOA estimates 543 as of January 1, 2025).
