Camping on Wisconsin's Flowages

Some of my favorite places are the Willow and Turtle-Flambeau Flowages in northern Wisconsin. Following are a few pictures from several trips to those magic places.

Willow Flowage: I prefer to camp on an island, but this mainland site was remote and very peaceful.

Willow Flowage: my Wenonah SoloPlus packed up and ready to go home. This was my first flowage trip and I used a paddle. In all future trips I rowed, which was much faster and less tiring in wind and waves.

Willow Flowage: rowing my Wenonah Prism.

Willow Flowage: ready to head out for a few days.

Willow Flowage: just returned with a load of firewood.

Willow Flowage: the view while rowing, which is looking back toward where I've come from.

Turtle-Flambeau Flowage: the Prism, my bike, and my Bell Wildfire (in Royalex) for any biking or river paddling I might do while on the trip.

Turtle-Flambeau Flowage: just got to the landing.

Turtle-Flambeau Flowage: packed up and ready to head out.
