Upper Wisconsin
The Upper Wisconsin basin is located in north-central Wisconsin. It includes Florence, Vilas, Oneida, Lincoln, and Langlade counties. This basin contains 34% of the state’s total lakes, and 22% of lake acreage. Some of the watersheds included in this basin include the Tomahawk, Eagle, Tamarack, Prairie, and Pelican Rivers. Many of the streams and lakes are classified as having Exceptional Resource Waters (ERW) which means the water quality is excellent.
