I have been searching the aforementioned HSOforum here looking for 2 things that don't seem to exist.

1. Lake survey reports

They used to have a boat access report that also listed species in the lake. If you want to go to a lake now, are you supposed to guess what's in there? Maybe I'm missing something.

What is in the Phantom Flowage in Burnett County?

2. Canoe/river routes

Aside from the Saint Croix National Scenic Riverway, I can't seem to find much. Willow River anyone? Flambeau? Need help!

P.S. If Wisconsin DNR is listening, please make some improvements to the navigability and content of your site. Truly awful.

The Phantom Lake Flowage is a shallow water waterfowl control project in the Crex Meadows Wildlife Refuge. There will be no boating/canoeing there.

If you're looking for canoe trip options, the St. Croix and Namekagon River Systems will be your best bets.

The phantom was my idea for low or dirty St Croix water, a Plan B type of thing. Thanks for the heads up.

Lots of river stretches to choose from in addition to DonBos suggestions - Red Cedar, Chippewa, Eau Claire, Wisconsin, Black, Flambeau, Brule.

The Prarie River north of Merrill is also a nice canoe trip plus it's a class A trout stream. It flows right past my back yard.

"What is in the Phantom Flowage in Burnett County?"

Phantom lake on the southwest corner of the flowage has some good wild rice if you get the permit. Duck hunting can be ok if they are on the move. Geese are off limits however
