The Turtle-Flambeau Flowage was created in 1926
by the Chippewa and Flambeau Improvement
Company
(CFIC) as a water retention reservoir to provide flood
control and a dependable supply of water for
down-stream hydroelectric generating stations. The
creation of the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage and
improved transportation significantly altered tourism
in Iron County. The flowage flooded 16 named
lakes and many acres of upland.
