Send us an e-mail or sign our guestbook if you have any questions, and to let us know how you do... THE TURTLE FLAMBEAU FLOWAGE... This part of Iron County in Northern Wisconsin once had 3 big streams -- the Flambeau River, the Turtle River, and Beaver Creek -- and 16 lakes. In 1926 a dam was built where the rivers met. The dam made the rivers flood the lakes and surrounding land to form one big lake called the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. The Flowage was built to save water so that it can be used to make electricity at other dams further downstream. The Flowage is a good place for animals to live and a fun place for people to visit. Most of the land surrounding the Flowage is now owned by the State of Wisconsin. This property is called the Turtle-Flambeau Scenic Waters Area. Watch for wildlife: Some birds on the Flowage, like loons, ducks and eagles, can be seen at any time of day. For most wild critters, the best times are early morning and around dusk.
