Welcome to Namakagon

The Town of Namakagon in southern Bayfield County, Wisconsin is lightly populated, densely wooded, and a popular vacation destination in Northwest WI.  The town forms around Lake Namakagon, a trophy muskie lake, and excellent for walleye, bass, northern pike, and pan fish.  The forests here are far more populated with wildlife than people.  Deer, black bear, fox, wild turkeys, grouse, and bald eagles are often seen, and the beautifully haunting call of the common loon is heard around the lake throughout the summer.

Namakagon is a vacationer’s and sportsman’s dream.  Its residents live here for many of the same reasons that make it popular for tourists.  Fishing, hunting, mountain biking, snowmobiling, skiing, hiking, boating, golf, you name it.  We are home to many resorts, large and small, and your choice of beautiful and secluded vacation homes to rent year around.  Visit once; return at least twice.

Looking for your input!

The Forest Lodge Library is looking for pledges of support for the library expansion project. The Town of Namakagon will be taking action at the next board meeting to claim the naming rights for a Wisconsin Collection Reading Room at the Forest Lodge Library to support this library expansion. This designated reading room will provide an opportunity to showcase and build this important collection. There is also a possible partnership with the Cable/Natural Historical Museum involving opportunities for special exhibits and the collection and archiving of local, oral history. The cost of the support would be $10,000 for three years, starting next year. These funds would be included in the proposed budget for the following three years.

Are you in favor of this support? Send your input to namakagon@cheqnet.net today!
