Originally called Waswagoning, meaning “a place where they fish by torchlight” in Ojibwe, the French fur traders who came to this northern Wisconsin region called it “Lake of the Torch.” Today, the town of Lac du Flambeau sits at the center of the Lac du Flambeau Reservation, a scenic Northwoods area that boasts 250 lakes, abundant wildlife, legendary fishing and miles of snowmobile trails made for all-season fun.
