Wisconsin’s Largest Wilderness Lake
The Lake Chippewa Flowage
The Chippewa Flowage, Wisconsin’s largest Wilderness Lake, was created in 1923. The damming of the Chippewa River joined the waters of 11 natural lakes, 9 rivers and countless streams. It is composed of over 15,000 acres of water with more than 140 islands. There are in excess of 200 miles of primarily wild shoreline which will never be more than 15% developed.
At the waters edge you may see deer, bear, herons, otters, eagles, beavers and even elk. The Chippewa Flowage provides a unique Northwoods fishery with a wide variety of species. Walleye, northern pike, large and small mouth bass, crappie, bluegill and perch are abundant. What’s more, is the Chippewa Flowage also has a world-class musky fishery, in addition to being the Home of the World Record Musky!
This is the ideal wilderness lake to enjoy quiet sports like kayaking, canoeing, bird watching, hiking and cross country skiing. There are about a dozen golf courses in our vicinity. Prospects for shopping, crafts and antiques abound. Experience outstanding dining and try your luck at gaming.
The Chippewa Flowage is located in the heart of Sawyer County’s well developed snowmobile and ATV trail system, which offers over 600 miles of groomed snowmobile trails.
Come and see the stars like you have never seen them before and enjoy the serenity of every season!
