Title: Re: Willow Flowage Post by Gavia on Mar 6th, 2014 at 5:48am
I camped on the Willow Flowage six times from 2002 to 2004. It can be nearly deserted, and you can have trouble finding an open campsite. In July 2003 I had to borrow the corner of someone else's site because I couldn't find one (and it was raining). I stopped going because on my last two trips (July and Sept. 2004) it took me a long time to find a site.
If you go, be sure to check the WVIC site. (You need to Login or Register The lowest safe water level is 7 feet below full pool. Lower than that and a lot of stumps will be just below the water, which is so dark you can't see them until you're nearly on top of them. If you want a more wilderness-y experience, try the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage. It has a lot more campsites, and the eastern part of it is motorless. |
