About this map

Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway protects the upper reaches of the river system as it meanders through the northern Wisconsin timberlands of the Chequamegon National Forest. The landscape is dominated by glacial features, including the Esker Trl and a dense network of kettle lakes such as Lake Tahkodah, Star Lake, and Wilson Lake. These water bodies are connected by small streams like Fivemile Cr and Wilson Cr, defining the hydrology of the Bayfield Co and Sawyer Co border.

Transportation in the area is a mix of aviation at the Cable Union Airport and a specialized network of trails and forest roads. Modern recreation is evident through the Rock Lake Bike Trl and the uniquely named Danky Dank Trl, which navigate the elevation changes between Hildebrand Lake and Birch Lake. This recent survey captures the region's character as a preserved wilderness intersected by fire lanes and local routes like Co Hwy M and Frels Rd.
