The 12,000 acre Turtle-Flambeau Flowage was created in 1926 and encompasses 9 original lakes and 150 miles of pristine shoreline. Much of the lake and all of the campsites on the flowage are owned by the State of Wisconsin. Fishing is usually superb for walleye, musky and northern. Eagles, osprey, and loons are commonly seen.
Primitive campsites are available on the flowage's many is lands on a first come, first serve basis.
Most do not have water. Be sure to bring your own water or carry water purification gear. Bring a good map and compass. It is easy to become confused among the many islands and inlets of the flowage. Keep a close eye on the weather.
