Any potential patron will have the experience Michelle M. describes and will be into them for over $100 in about 8 minutes flat. They have backyard size ponds FULL of fish - drop your line in and you've got one that you're paying for....and just try telling your kids to STOP! AWFUL experience and set up to take advantage of YOU - the unsuspecting tourist trying to have some good family fun. BEWARE! Beaver Springs Fishing Park is a tourist trap pure and simple!

Sept.5th this past weekend. I can not tell you how enjoyable and educational it was. Our tour quides Nora and Bonnie were highly informed and knowledgeable about the history of the area, the estate and all the people involved in the history, starting with the famous couple themselves. The people who have restored and maintained this historical site have done an AMAZING job and I wish them continued success. I will be recommending this trip to everyone...I thank you for a wonderful wonderful afternoon. Sincerely, Linda I had the pleasure of touring Ten-C. on Sat. Sept.5th this past weekend.

After catching 3 small fish, and 3 medium sized fish, we were told that our medium sized fish were "jumbo-sized" and it was an extra charge. We also were told to catch 3 more fish...that just added to the total of $167. We paid $1.50 for ice which were 3 frozen water bottles. This place is a rip-off and I'm actually embarassed for this website to even have them on here as an attraction.

It is at http://www.chippewaflowage.com/map.html We are a travel information site dedicated to giving people the opportunity to learn about different places to travel and what to see and do in all 50 states but we are not associated with any of them directly. It helps us to keep our objectivity when writing about them. We hope you have a chance to download the map, it appears to be quite good. When you arrive in the area I am certain they will be able to provide you with a bigger one, if you want. Have a safe and most enjoyable experience!

I will be coming up to fish the Chippewa Flowage next Monday, and am totally unfamilliar with the lake. Can you supply me with a lake map so I don’t disappear forever among the islands? I have some kind of computer problem where-by the machine doesn’t always download graphics into anything a human being could use, so I am afraid I will have to rely on snail mail. However, if a map could be sent out today, it ought to arrive here by Saturday, and that would work fine. Otherwise, if such a map is available, perhaps you could direct me to one, or I could stop by your office on arrival and pick it up. Any help you might be able offer me would of course make my writing assignment easier to complete, and in the process reflect more favorably on your area. Thanks, Jerry Jerryv Pabat 1196 Whitney Rd.

We are blessed to have this fine treasure to share with visitors and locals alike. The one cautionary I would make: Please don't plan to use a canoe for any paddling across to any of the islands. Kayaks are your paddling boat of choice - and with that, we urge paddlers to work closely with the Apostle Island National Park staff and/or one of our local outfitters. Lake Superior is an inland sea and acts like one. Conditions can change drastically. Making open water crossings is to be taken seriously. Please come and paddle - but please be careful.
