The History at the Lake Chippewa Flowage

The History at the Lake Chippewa Flowage

The Chippewa Flowage covers over 15,000 acres and came into being in 1923 after a dam was created on the Chippewa River. For 100 years, this serene lake has provided many successful fishing trips, calm boat days, and peaceful swims. But there’s more to the lake than just the water. John Dettloff, a fishing guide, dives into the Indigenous history of Lake Chippewa Flowage.
