The Namekagon River is a tame and narrow stretch of water flowing slowly to the west for 100 miles. Bordered mostly of thick vegetation and woody banks of aspen, birch, and maple, the cold-water stream is habitat for native trout. It is a clear shallow river about 1 to 2 feet deep and 75 feet wide with sandy bottoms. Numerous islands populate the river. Dragonflies and butterflies, otters, beavers, osprey and bald eagles are frequent sightings along the river stretch.
