New Auburn welcomes visitors headed for nearby lakes, forests, and trails of the Blue Diamond recreation area. Resorts, campgrounds, restaurants, and services are available. Visitors also come to see the Chippewa Moraine Recreation Area, with its more than 3,300 acres of ridges and lakes carved by the glacier. A visitor center provides information on the stagnant ice glacial features that dominate the landscape, and offers access to the thousand-mile Ice Age National Scenic Trail, whether for long-distance hiking or a 4.5-mile walk around the lake-studded circle route. The adjacent Chippewa County Forest provides hunting, hiking, fishing, and snowmobile opportunities.
