Summer Day on the Gile Flowage, Peg Sutherland Photos

The Friends of the Gile Flowage (FOG) is a non-profit Wisconsin lake association dedicated to the wise use and preservation of the Gile Flowage for now and future generations.

We welcome you to join the Friends of the Gile Flowage!

The Gile Flowage is a 3400-acre lake located in northern Iron County, Wisconsin.

Created in 1945 to supply a water reserve for hydroelectric power generation downstream, it has become much more.

With its rocky shores and bedrock islands, today it is one of the last undeveloped large water bodies in northern Wisconsin. It is a special place cherished by those who still seek the real Northwoods.

2010 Gile Flowage Fish Crib Construction Day	1/14/2010 8:41 AM
Jeff Roth has given us the date of Saturday, March 6^th for the 2010 Gile Flowage Fish Crib Construction Day. I’m waiting to get a specific start time from Jeff, but I assume it will be around 8 or 9 am. This year the cribs will be constructed next to the 4H Boat Landing on Spring Camp Rd. (west side of the Flowage). The logs have been purchased with FOG money (with your approval) and are already decked near the boat landing. Please mark this date on your calendar--we are going to need everyone’s help for this big project. We will also need a large group of volunteers to be as successful as last year’s project. So please talk your family, friends, and neighbors into helping out. It’s a fun way to get to know folks who are interested in the Flowage while helping improve it!
