About This Access Site
CC South is the largest and most developed public access point on the Chippewa Flowage, a 15,300-acre impoundment located 15 miles east of Hayward in Sawyer County. This DNR-managed landing offers excellent facilities including a large parking area, potable water, and trash services, making it ideal for both day trips and overnight access. The site is a popular launch point for exploring the flowage's 233-mile shoreline.
The Chippewa Flowage is Wisconsin's third-largest lake, characterized by a highly irregular, heavily wooded shoreline dotted with approximately 200 undeveloped islands. Paddlers and boaters will find plenty of scenic exploration opportunities, though the size and exposed nature of the flowage mean conditions can change quickly. Note that beginning in 2025, the 11 DNR island campsites require reservations and fees; CC South remains an excellent option for overnight parking and facility access if you're planning an extended trip on the water.
