About Willow Flowage SWA - Dick Steffes Unit
Willow Flowage SWA - Dick Steffes Unit is a 1,775-acre state wildlife area located in Lincoln County, Wisconsin, centered around Willow Flowage, a 1,200-acre lake formed by a dam on the Little Wolf River. The area provides habitat for a variety of wildlife, including deer, waterfowl, and upland game birds, and supports hunting, fishing, and non-motorized boating.
The unit features public access points, boat ramps, and trails for wildlife observation and outdoor recreation. It is managed primarily for wildlife conservation and public use, with restrictions on motorized vehicles and development to preserve natural conditions. The area is named in honor of Dick Steffes, a longtime Wisconsin conservationist and advocate for public land access.
