turtle - flambeau flowage印象

beautiful large body of water with lots of wildlife, even when there is still ice on the surface. Good place to watch water birds.

Our family has been coming to the Turtle Flambeau Flowage for around a decade and we just love it. It was sad to see that a tornado had ruined a great deal of the large trees on the islands but we are hoping others will pop up in their place. This is a an awesome place to camp, even though the fishing is never the best. We would certainly recommend this place for a over night adventure or even a day trip!

We stayed in several cabins along the flowage during our recent family fishing trip to Mercer. The location was perfect! We were right on the water with boat access to fish. Just beautiful!!

We took our kids here with our pontoon boat and they had a wonderful time. There are roughly 60 islands with camping spots and they are very cool. The fishing is very good for little kids and it seems as though we were always able to catch something. We would certainly recommend this place to anyone with or without a family. It is an awesome place!!!!!

Paddled in late September with beautiful weather and active smallmouth bass. Waterfowl were abundant, but smaller birds had vacated to the south. Lots of motor boat traffic as local fishermen searched for walleye with their fish-finders.

I've gone to the Turtle Flowage only in the early winter and it's fantastic. It's so different from seeing it in the spring or summer. The water still flows and the ice formations are fantastic. You can still see wildlife but I go just for the quiet and the beauty of the snow everywhere in the pines and on the water. Just a fantastic place no matter what time of year you go.

It took me two years to get back to the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage just south of Mercer, Wisconsin. The only change - many more mosquitoes than last time. Since this was early June instead of Sept., and since it had been a wet spring, the pesky little buzzers were to be expected. Good strong doses of Deet worked superbly well. Our site was up on a knoll overlooking the lake and caught any breeze that happened to thread through the trees - towering red pine and huge birch. The area was thrashed by strong storm winds earlier this spring so many trees were down or had their branches snapped away. Firewood was ample although the birch tends to be soft and decaying - but still leaving highly-ignitable bark for quick fire starts but poor heat and coal generation. Make sure you bring a saw to get good dry wood frokm storm-felled trees beyond the campsite clearings.The folks at Mercer Chamber of Commerce are great people (Tell 'em Tom sent you!) and are always willing to help you with local info and insights. The eastern 1/4 of Turtle-Flambeau is called the "Quiet Zone" with limits on motorboat speeds (no wake zone). Obviously some waterborne motorheads haven't learned how to deal with that as you will see an occasional jerk speeding across the otherwise mirrorlike stillness of the lake.The overall mood of T-F is very similar to the BWCA, or perhaps closer to the Voyageur National Park setting. Loons serenade at night, a few fireflies mimic the glistening starlight overhead and the breezes whisper through the pines all creating very pleasant atmospheres around primitive camping sites (fire ring but no picnic table, basic open seat latrines). Drinking water needs to be brought in or filtered from the lake and all garbage/trash needs to be hauled out. It's just like the old days before "camping" meant sterile lawns and ticky-tacky rows of campsites and monkey lights. If you go, keep it clean, keep it quite and keep it fun! Be safe out there.

Canoed and camped on the quieter side with my dog. Very nice northwoods escape! Saw a bald eagle. Heard the loons. Woke to a dense surreal fog.

do not go anywhere near Joe MILLERS resort unless you have written proof of your reservation. The "wife" booked our reservation over the phone and after driving for 6 1/2 hours, we arrived to her telling us we had no reservation. Mind you we have a full truck of supplies and a dog with us that she ok'd only to strand us with no where to go. The old man, Joe then also said they had no reservation or room. stay FAR AWAY FROM this nightmare resort.Unless

We have been camping at the Turtle Flambeau Flowage for the last 4 years and every year we enjoy it. Have stayed at multiple campsites which have all been great. Love the peace and quiet, loons, eagles, and other wild life we have seen. Fishing was good, lots of bass, walleye, bluegill and perch.
