2013 Map of Island Lake

About this map

The Bois Brule River carves a path through this corner of the Wisconsin northwoods, defined by a succession of whitewater including Wildcat Rapids, The Falls Rapids, and Majs Rips Rapids. The waterway connects a chain of significant pools such as Lucius Lake and Big Lake, which have historically served as focal points for the Cedar Island Estate. This area is characterized by a high concentration of glacial kettle lakes, ranging from the large Island Lake to the uniquely named High Life Lake and Breakfast Lake. Inland, the Brule Lookout Tower and Cedar Island Airport stand as primary landmarks amidst a network of forest roads and trails like Broken Arrow Trl and Lynx Rd. The map illustrates a landscape shaped by both its hydrological network and the seasonal recreation economy common to Bayfield County.
