The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage was created in 1926 when the Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement Company built a dam on the Flambeau River downstream from its confluence with the Turtle River. The dam flooded 16 natural lakes and formed an impoundment of approximately 14,000 acres (57 km 2 ).
Below the dam impounding the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage, the North Fork has three dams between Park Falls and Oxbo. On the main Flambeau below the Forks, there are four more dams: Big Falls Dam, Rural Electric Agency Dam (Dairyland Reservoir), Ladysmith (Papermill Dam), (the Port Arthur Dam until it was removed), and the Thornapple Dam.

The population density was 10.3 people per square mile (4.0/km 2). There were 1,926 housing units at an average density of 11.5 per square mile (4.4/km 2).
The other remaining tributaries of the Flambeau River are fairly small, but many support trout populations. [3] The Flambeau River rises in two major forks—the North Fork and the South Fork. Swamp Creek is located in the watershed of the North Fork, which is near the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage in Iron County. Swamp Creek is one of four other ...

[1] Historically the Turtle River was an important part of an extensive network of canoe routes linked by short land portages, used by the Ojibwe and fur traders. [2]
The basin that holds the Mondeaux Flowage, about three miles long and a quarter mile wide, [4] is probably a tunnel channel cut by a meltwater stream beneath the Chippewa Lobe of the last glacier. At some point, an esker formed down the middle of that channel and along the west edge. By early historic times, a stream (the Mondeaux River) flowed ...
Flambeau River State Forest is a 90,147 acre (364 km 2) unit of the Wisconsin state park system. The North and South Forks of the Flambeau River join within the park, providing over 75 miles (121 km) of mostly undeveloped river.
National Geographic's Crittercam is a research tool designed to be worn by wild animals. It combines video and audio recording with collection of environmental data such as depth, temperature, and acceleration. [1] The live feeds help scientists experience an animal's daily routines.
