The Ojibwa tribe gave this land the name Chequamegon, or place of the shallow water. It was here in these pristine, low waters that the tribe would canoe down the tranquil Chaquamegon Bay and fish its abundant supply of smallmouth bass, northern pike, walleye and trout. To this day, Chequamegon National Forest remains famed for the prize fishing and serene canoeing within its low waters.

The Chequamegon is located in the north-central pine covered meadows of Wisconsin. Its 850,000 acres extend from Ashland all the way up to Lake Superior. Glacier-rounded hills and plenty of lakes offer all the recreational opportunities of a northwoods forest, including two National Scenic Trails.
