Geocache Description:

Lea Lake (Flowage) is 100% surrounded by Rusk County forestland.
LOGO

230 acre Lea Lake is a "shallow-water marsh that serves as resting, feeding, nesting, and brood-rearing habitat for mallards and wood ducks." The newly restored dam is managed by the county to maintain water levels in the flowage to encourage food for various waterfowl; and wild rice beds for harvest.
This type of shallow water impoundment with abundant plant life supports a myriad of lesser species. Wild lakes such as this are becoming increasingly rare as the demand/desire for country, waterfront, vacation homes skyrockets. That's why this lake "Is for the birds!" Traces of an old logging railroad grade remain just to the south of this cache. Last owned by the Bissell Lumber Co., the line was abandoned in 1935.
