Squaw Creek

Squaw Creek is classified a Class 1 trout stream by WDNR. This means that it is considered a high quality trout waters that have sufficient natural reproduction to sustain populations of wild trout, at or near carry capacity. Consequently, streams in this category require no stocking of hatchery trout. These streams or stream sections are often small and may contain small or slow-growing trout, especially in the headwaters.

Squaw Creek Overview

This small, cold water stream is considered an exceptional resource water. It supports a Class I brook and rainbow trout fishery. Because of the steep gradient, the stream experiences frequent damage to in-stream cover during heavy rain. This has resulted in the formation of a characteristic terraced pool effect along its entire length. During low flow periods, trout can become temporarily isolated in these small pools. The terracing apparently has no effect during high water periods. The trout in the stream are lake-run fish. Wisconsin Trout Streams lists a tributary to Squaw Creek as a Class III trout fishery. We have no information on this stream.

The Lake Superior Binational Program identified the mouth of this stream as important to the integrity of the Lake Superior ecosystem for coastal wetlands.

The water marked for higher production is located north and south of 13 and just East of Cornucopia. Hwy 13 crosses where you want to travel north or south. Check access maps.
