Lakes & Flowages

· Refresh yourself in, or on, one of Iron County’s 214 clean lakes. Southern Iron County is Lake Country and home to the Turtle Flambeau Flowage, “Wisconsin’s Crown Jewel”, offering 19,000 acres of water strewn with over 100 islands and rimmed by 220 miles of wilderness shoreline. Chances are you’ll hear the haunting call of a loon, get a glimpse of a whitetail deer or reel in a trophy from our fish-rich waters.

· In Northern Iron County, Lake Superior’s tops for recreational variety. Sail stiff breezes by boat or board. Sink a lure into crisp, fish laden waters. Comb broad beaches. Or simply swim.
