Namekagon Transit serves Sawyer, Washburn, Barron and southern Bayfield counties, and the LCO reservation.

Within Hayward and the LCO reservation we offer three regular deviated fixed routes. You can schedule a stop that deviates from the route of up to three-quarters of a mile. You may transfer free between the three deviated fixed routes at the LCO Casino and from other transportation routes in Hayward.

Other Namekagon Transit services include:

The Barnes/Cable/Drummond/Hayward route runs every Tuesday.

The Hayward/Trego/Rice Lake route runs every first and third Wednesday. 

The Winter/Radisson/Hayward route runs weekdays, Monday through Friday.

In Washburn County we offer daily service between Spooner and Shell Lake.
Every second and fourth Wednesday we have service between Minong and Chicog.

In Barron County we offer rides with a varying daily schedule. 

We can also assist you in finding and scheduling transportation outside of our service area.
