🐢 Flowage Fun Fact Friday 🌲
Did you know the forests surrounding the Turtle Flambeau Scenic Waters Area have changed dramatically over time?
Up until the early 1900s, towering white and red pines dominated the landscape. After logging and wildfires swept through the region, forests naturally shifted—making way for aspen and white birch to thrive. Today, the forest is a diverse mix of aspen, northern hardwoods, swamp conifers, and smaller pockets of pine. 🌳
Forest management in the area is carefully designed to protect the scenic beauty of the Turtle Flambeau Flowage. A 300-foot “aesthetic zone” surrounds the shoreline where no timber harvesting occurs, preserving those iconic Northwoods views.
Beyond that zone, selective and sustainable forestry practices help maintain wildlife habitat and forest health. Thoughtful regeneration—especially of aspen—supports species like grouse and deer, ensuring the Flowage remains not just beautiful, but full of life. 🦌✨
