Flambeau River
The Flambeau River is a tributary of the Chippewa River in northern Wisconsin, United States. Naturalist Aldo Leopold wrote that his father deemed all good camp spots, fishing spots, and woods "nearly as good as the Flambeau." The river remains notable among canoeists in the Midwest for outstanding canoe camping, including excellent scenery, fishing and whitewater.
