| We are going to explore the Wisconsin River between Rainbow Flowage and Watersmeet Lake and would like to know if there is access to Dam Lake from the river. I Google mapped using satellite imaging and can not tell if there is a tunnel or spillway on the north end of the lake. Any feed back would be appreciated. Leaving the Ranger home and using a 14' jon boat. Thanks in advance. |

i'm most familiar in winter (it's where the snowmobile trail goes on to Dam Lake but, wonder if there is a portage you can access that would go across to the more level beach area where that boat is. you can't see the water going back there, but it might just be covered by the tree in the photo. water level is up on the rainbow now so that may be a place that could be used, otherwise i think it's steepish.
the WI. river section is usually pretty low exposing most of the boulders ... you've probably seen this from driving hwy 70. right now it's full across the width to the grass so all are eddied or hidden.
