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.
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 links

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)

"A thing is right when it tends to preserve the
integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community. It is wrong
when it tends otherwise.” -- Aldo Leopold
