The Flambeau River State Forest provides excellent backcountry opportunities, including wooded hiking trails, ATV and snowmobile trails, family campgrounds and rustic river sites, hunting and fishing. Canoeing is the most popular activity at the forest. Different portions of the river offer varying degrees of difficulty. The North Fork is ideal for the novice, while the South Fork is for the advanced paddler. Nine landings offer access to forest lakes and the Flambeau River.
