Lac Courte Oreilles

About Lac Courte Oreilles

It has been a popular fishing resort for well over a century and has been attracting people for much longer. It is known for its large number of lakes and excellent water quality. More recently, he has inhabited other Hayward Lakes, including Lake Superior, Lake of the Lakes, Hayward Lake, Bay City Lake and Lake Michigan.

For the LCO band, the lake is a popular gathering place for wild rice, and it was prayed in six bands that are believed to have migrated from St. Lawrence Waterway.

Originally called Ojibwa, the band settled on the shores of what was then Ottaway Lake after their children died and were buried there one winter. His parents refused to leave him, and he grew up with them and his parents in the village.

French fur merchant, who was one of the first white inhabitants of the area, but forgot to marry and trade with the Indians and to accept their culture. Courte Oreilles means "short ear" and is the name given to the Indians by the French. It is said that he can trace his ancestry back to the Ojibwa in Wisconsin and other tribes in the region.

After the merchant opened a post office and settled in the area, the wood baron moved in to cut wood for his own use and for the use of the village. Today Hayward is home to the World Lumberjack Championship, which pays homage to its rich timber past.

Since 1960, more than 12,000 visitors have visited the competition annually, and more than 1,500 visitors from all over the world visit it annually.

The loggers compete in sawing, sawing and climbing trees up to 30 metres and take part in the World Lumberjack Championships.

The first fishing club was founded in 1889 and offered anglers from Chicago and even Kentucky a place to fish and relax. The logging changed the area and the beautiful water brought visitors and summer vacationers.

The Indians of Lac Courte Oreilles have lived in the reserve since it was founded in 1854 by the signatories, who were treated as "treaties."

The band LCO still harvests wild rice and spear fish in Lac Courte Oreilles and produces most of their food itself, as well as food for their children and grandchildren. The reserve covers 48,000 hectares in Sawyer County and covers half of the lake; water from Grindstone Lake flows into Grindstones Creek in Lac Court Oreille. LacCourteOreilles is the largest freshwater lake in Wisconsin and the second largest in North America.
