Scenic areas

Little Falls/Slough Gundy

This is a great spot for a picnic, fishing or viewing the rugged whitewater of the South Fork of the Flambeau River. Long before you arrive at the river’s edge, you'll hear the roaring rapids in the distance. But best of all is the spectacular sight of huge boulders and rushing water with the peaceful elegance of a pine forest in the background.

Please note that no person may possess glass bottles within the Flambeau River State Forest boundary at Little Falls-Slough Gundy scenic area.

Sobieski Flowage

Located in the southeastern section of the forest, a once-active cranberry farm was purchased by the State of Wisconsin. The area has since been rejuvenated by the Rough Grouse Society, Plaza Farms, the Wildlife Restoration Association, and the Department of Natural Resources. The area includes a medium size flowage, waterfowl nesting areas (the old cranberry beds), and several miles of hunter walking trails.

Bass Lake

In 1983, Bass Lake was designated as a wilderness lake to protect and perpetuate its natural beauty. The area is provided for fishing, hunting, and sightseeing. To enhance the natural setting of this 94-acre lake and its shoreland, motorized vehicles, motor boats, mooring of boats overnight, and camping are prohibited. The area is open for the public to enjoy.
