Bois Brule River

Bois Brule River

.

The river is called "Wiisaakode-ziibi" ("A river through a half-burnt woods") in the Anishinaabe language, which was translated into French and incorporated into English. It was the site of the 1842 Battle of the Brule between the La Pointe Band of Ojibwe and a group of Dakota Sioux.

The river is well known for its exceptional trout fishing and canoeing. Near the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources Office that operates the State Forest, there is a fish hatchery.
