About

Spring-fed flows of 626 CFS average make the South Fork Flambeau a consistent 64-mile run through northern Wisconsin, with optimal conditions between 325 and 950 CFS on USGS gauge 05359500. The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources manages access through a series of landings: Lugerville down to the County W bridge, County W bridge to the County M Road Wayside, and County M Road Wayside to Hervas Camp Landing. At this flow volume, the South Fork Flambeau maintains steady current through mixed forest without the dramatic gradient drops found on some northern Wisconsin rivers.
