CHETEK VISITOR’S GUIDE 2026

Museum

HISTORY OF CHETEK

Chetek was first settled in 1863 and platted on Oct. 15, 1875, on land owned by Knapp, Stout & Co. and E. M. Sexton. Chetek was never incorporated as a village but became an incorporated city in 1891. At the time, Chetek was the first and only city in the United States to pass directly from a township system to a full-fledged city. It was also the smallest incorporated city in the United States, having a population then of only 531 people.

The origin of the name “Chetek” is mired

in controversy. From a variety of sources we are given several explanations as to how the name was derived. One historian says the name “Chetek,” which Ojibway Indians called “Sheetak,” means pelican, literally little pelican. This is to distinguish it from Big Chetac located farther north. Another theory says that the name was given by Knapp, Stout & Co. lumbermen for a Chippewa Indian Chief, whose name by various writers was spelled Chetek, Shetek, Shetack, Shetuc,

and Chetack, respectively, with the meaning being “between two rivers,” or confluence of rivers. In 1993, a theory presented itself claiming the origin of Chetek comes from the Ojibway word Tchitchag which is part of their high or spiritual language and means soul.

Lands now under water due to the higher water levels resulting from the dam, were once sacred burial grounds for the native residents. The true origin of the name may forever be a mystery.

Chetek Area

Big six chain of lakes

BIG SIX CHAIN OF LAKES

Chetek, the City of Lakes, is located in northwestern Wisconsin on the Big Six Chain of Lakes — but how many other details of these bodies of water and the land surrounding them is well known?

Did you know that these six lakes — Chetek, Prairie, Pokegama, Moose Ear, Ten Mile and Ojaski — cover 3,800 surface acres. The smallest, Moose Ear Lake, covers 33.6 surface acres, Lake Chetek, covers just 683 surface acres, while Prairie Lake has 1,545 surface acres. Lake Chetek is the deepest lake, with a maximum depth of 22 feet.

Fish populations in these lakes include Northern Pike, Walleye, Largemouth Bass, Smallmouth Bass, Bluegill, Black Crappies, Pumpkinseeds, Perch, Bullheads, Rock Bass and White Suckers. wetlands on the northeast shore provide habitat for muskrats, MOOSE EAR LAKE On the lower part of Moose Ear Creek, marsh nesting mallards, teal and wood ducks. this lake has 33.6 surface acres with a maximum depth of just 6 feet, and has a warm water fish population. An intermittent stream from Couderay Lake and a spring feeder from a pond also supply water to POKEGAMA LAKE With 494 surface acres and a maximum the stream. A 150-acre wetland adjoining the stream near Moose Ear Lake provides habitat for muskrats and nesting puddle ducks.

CHETEK LAKE With a maximum depth of 22 feet, Chetek

Lake has a total of 683 surface acres. It is a recreational lake and is surrounded on most of its area by permanent residences, summer homes, resorts, and the City of Chetek. The city operates a public swimming beach during the summer months and a large public boat landing is located near the Southworth Municipal Airport on Lakeview Drive. Lake Chetek is also the site of the Hydroflites Water Ski Team’s shows, which are held throughout the summer from their property located adjacent to the boat landing on Lakeview Drive.

TEN MILE LAKE This lake at the southern most point of

the Chain has a depth of 10 feet and 393 surface acres. This lake is also a soft water drainage impoundment in the Chetek Lake Chain.

Muskrats, nesting mallards and wood ducks use the 27 acres of lake edge wetlands.

OJASKI LAKE Located in the Town of Chetek, Ojaski Lake

(also known locally as Mud Lake) covers 567.1 surface acres and has a maximum depth of 15 feet. Pokegama Creek, which flows into Ojaski Lake from the north, provides a spawning area for northern and walleye. Located in a farming area, the lake is surrounded by upland hardwoods. white pine and cultivated farmland. About three acres of

depth of 19 feet, Pokegama Lake is a very popular fishing lake. A soft water drainage lake in the Chetek Chain between Ojaski Lake and Lake Chetek, the immediate lakeshore vegetation is pine and hardwood with the exception of several marsh-edged bays. These marshes provide habitat for muskrats and puddle ducks. Keep your eyes peeled when cruising along the shorelines as deer and other wildlife come down to get a drink of water. Another sight becoming more common each year are Bald Eagles soaring above the lakes, catching fish to feed themselves and their young.

PRAIRIE LAKE With 1,545 surface acres, Prairie Lake is the

largest lake in the Chetek Lake Chain with a maximum depth of 16 feet. A soft water drainage lake, the lake level is maintained by the dam on Lake Chetek, which controls the water levels on the Chetek Chain, and the fish species consist of all those named previously. The lakeshore is predominantly upland hardwoods and pine, and three acres of marsh edge along the lake provide habitat for muskrats, nesting ducks. Coot and Canada geese also use the lake during spring and fall migratory periods. The haunting call of the loon can be heard during the early and late migration times. It is in these waters that the famous floating islands originated, moving from time to time to different locations. The lake runs from the north side of Chetek northward, almost to Cameron and Highway 8. While much of the shoreline is developed with residential homes, cabins and resorts; there is still a large portion of the lake that remains wild, offering natural settings for fishing along the banks of the lake.

CHETEK PUBLIC ARTS | Dog Parks

DOG PARK Auggie Land is a privately owned state-of-the-art dog park which was opened to the public in 2019.

Just a few of the amenities at Auggie Land are a covered pavilion with picnic tables, a separation for large and small dogs, on-site fresh water, on-site portable toilets, benches and waste receptacles throughout the entire park.

One of the popular attractions is the dog agility course located in the 80’x100’ heart which is filled with red rubber mulch. This big red heart also duplicates for a beautiful aerial view.

Auggie Land is a seasonal dog park with anticipated openings from May until November, Mother Nature pending Auggie Land is open from daylight to dark. It is located just north of Chetek on County Road M. All free-will donations go to local dog related nonprofits on behalf of Auggie Land patrons.

The City of Chetek Dog Park opened in August 2016 and is located at 401 City Park Drive. The park is three acres where your dog is free to run and play without a leash all year ‘round. There are open grassy and tree-shaded areas to enjoy the freedom.

The park is divided into two sections: one section for small dogs only and the other section for all size dogs. Future improvements planned are walking trails, benches and a pavilion.

As a result of broad community support, the park is free to use for everyone! The land belongs to the City of Chetek. The park is supervised by a non-profit 501.3(c) organization and is maintained by volunteers. Volunteers are welcomed and opportunities to serve are available. Tax deductible donations can be mailed to PO Box 924, Chetek WI 54728 or made through our Facebook page. Contact the park about donations, volunteering or issues by email at chetekdogpark@gmail.com

Why Your Donation Is So Important CWHS graduates are seeing more and more post-secondary oppportunities, and it is because of this that your donation is needed now, more than ever.

We see a growing number of graduates going to 4-year and 2-year colleges, as well as many who attend technical schools. In order to afford these opportunities, many rely on financial aid, which results in debt often difficult to repay. We encourage all students to apply for any and all scholarships, which include all of those offered through the CWSF. At no point should a graduate be discouraged about seeking future education simply because of a lack of funds.

Your donation helps to secure the future of our CWHS graduates. For more information contact us at info@chetekscholarship.com or visit www.chetekscholarships.com The mission of the Chetek-Weyerhaeuser Scholarship Foundation, Inc. is to promote a better society through financial help for further education.

RECREATION & TRAILS

All-terrain Vehicles The Chetek ATV Club has over 100 members. The club has many members from outside the immediate area to help

support our efforts and to provide ATV enthusiasts opportunities to ride our trails. Our trails are made possible by some very generous private land owners who allow our trails to cross over their land. The Club has many volunteers to maintain trails and road routes. The Mission of the Chetek ATV Cruzers is to conserve, maintain, enhance and establish All Terrain Vehicle Trails and routes in Barron County.

Join the Club! Your membership means support for the local, state, and federal efforts to keep trails open and to utilize the public lands for recreational enjoyment. Your membership also helps to educate ATV users on trail etiquette and considerate trail use, so that we can retain our privileges and support the people who enjoy the great outdoors on their ATVs & UTVs. Your membership also helps to pay for the maintenance and cleaning of the trails. The Chetek ATV Club works hard to maintain the trails for everyone who uses them. Membership applications can be picked up at Horton’s Hardware. Monthly meetings are March through October, check Facebook for dates and times. Everyone is welcome!

There is access to the ATV routes and trails from most of the Chetek resorts. There is a trail-head in the Chetek Industrial Park behind Parker Hannifin where riders can unload their machines and park trucks/trailers. ATV city maps and Barron county maps are available at the Chetek Visitors Center and at most Chetek businesses. All City of Chetek streets are open to ATVs; quiet time is 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. ATVs NOT PERMITTED during this time. All riders on city streets must have a valid drivers licence. Please ride safely and always ride with your headlights on, so others can see you coming.

Check us out on Facebook (ChetekAtvCruzers) | New members are always welcome

Snowmobiling Barron County has over 250 miles of groomed and well-marked snowmobile trails. The trail-head of the Tuscobia State Trail, a 76-mile abandoned railroad bed, begins just north of Rice Lake and ends in Park Falls. “Rails to Trails” is the Wild Rivers Trail which also begins in Rice Lake and covers 97 miles, going north to Superior. For the latest information on trail conditions, call 715-234-2126 or 800-523-6318 or visit www.travelwisconsin.com.

The local snowmobile club is the Chetek Snow Flyers. To obtain more information about this organization and/or membership in the club, please contact President Mike Schmidt at 715-829-8925, email cheteksnowflyers@gmail.com, visit www.cheteksnowflyers.net or search Chetek Snow Flyers on Facebook.
