Community: Lac du Flambeau
Waswagoning, “a place where they fish by torchlight,” is the name the Ojibwe gave their home in Wisconsin’s Northwoods. French fur traders named the area Lac du Flambeau, “Lake of the Torch.” Lush forests, abundant wildlife, 250 lakes and miles of snowmobile trails combine with a modern resort, a casino and cultural attractions to create a true year-round destination in northern Wisconsin. Visit the George W. Brown Jr. Ojibwe Museum & Cultural Center or the Waswagoning Indian Village. Come to Lac du Flambeau in Vilas County and Refresh Your Spirit.
