 Welcome to the Lake Superior Basin Partnership Web Site


The Lake Superior Basin is located in northwest Wisconsin, and includes parts of Douglas, Bayfield, Ashland, and Iron counties -- an area with landscapes, shorelands and waterways unique to Wisconsin.

Lake Superior is special, sensitive and
unique, and deserves a special designation

On this Web site you will find information about the activities and events, conservation and natural resource clubs and agency personnel in the basin. Follow the linksRocky Shoreline Lake Superior Photo on the left to navigate the Lake Superior Basin Partnership Web site.

The Lake Superior drainage basin is rich in natural resources and scenic beauty. It is sparsely populated and economically dependent on its natural resources, which include metals, minerals, forests and recreation/tourism opportunities such as national lakeshores and national/state/provincial parks. It is particularly known for its clear, cold water and agate beaches. A circle tour guides highway travelers around the lakeshore. Many shipwrecks in Lake Superior are now protected in bottomland preserves and accessible to recreational divers. (1)
