2018 Map of Bucks Lake

About this map

The Ice Age National Scenic Trail winds through this section of Rusk County, marking a glacial landscape defined by numerous kettle lakes and wetland flowages. This 2018 survey reveals a drainage network dominated by the S Fork Hemlock Cr and Big Weirgor Cr, which feed into substantial water bodies like Bucks Lake and the Murphy Flowage. The topography rises toward the south near Mt Atlanta, while the northern reaches are crisscrossed by a grid of rural routes such as Dejung Rd and N Bucks Lake Rd. The presence of Hill Trail Flowage and various smaller basins like Lost Lake and Perch Lake indicates a territory heavily shaped by post-glacial hydrology, preserved here for hikers and conservationists. A network of trails, including Serley Camp Trl and Four Hill Trl, provides access to the dense woodland and waterway systems that characterize this part of northern Wisconsin.
