Chippewa Flowage (Lake Chippewa)
In northern Wisconsin, in the center of Sawyer County, rests the Chippewa Flowage. The flowage is a 15,300-acre impoundment; it is Wisconsin's third largest lake. First filled in 1924, this sprawling water body has a highly irregular, wooded and generally undeveloped 233-mile shoreline. It is dotted with approximately 200 islands.
The flowage is known for its spectacular natural scenery and excellent fishing. It has a national reputation for musky, and provides some of the finest walleye fishing in Wisconsin. It is a seemingly endless maze of islands, points, bays and channels, accented by birch, aspen and pine. Almost all birds and animals indigenous to northern Wisconsin are found within the area.
