Lake of the Falls

   Lake of the Falls is a flowage-style lake northwest of Mercer, surrounded by county park land, campsites, and forest, giving it a scenic, semi-wild feel. The lake connects to the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage via the Turtle River, so it feels like part of a larger river-lake network rather than an isolated basin. Much of the shoreline remains natural with public park facilities concentrated in a few areas. It has bays, river channels, and natural shoreline, plus a county park and campground that make it a popular but still scenic spot. It feels like part of a larger river-lake network and pairs naturally with trips onto the Turtle-Flambeau Flowage.
