Flambeau Trek Guide to the Historic Flambeau Trail

Ojibwe history, fur trade, voyageurs

This booklet describes points of historic, geologic, and cultural importance you can see today along the Flambeau Trail from LaPointe-Madeline Island to Lac du Flambeau. This booklet was created to support the Flambeau Trek, conducted 1993-1995, when Iron County residents and Lac du Flambeau school students paddled, hiked, and biked to retrace this historic water highway and overland portage route. This was the first time in over 100 years that the Flambeau Trail was followed, connecting people and cultures. This was a cooperative project between Iron County, the Iron County Development Zone, and the University of Wisconsin-Extension for Iron County's new Heritage Tourism Area.
