Sawyer County has an abundance of lakes and there is some neat history and information on the "Quiet Lakes" which are Lost Land Lake, Teal Lake and Ghost Lake; just 15 miles northeast of Hayward on Hwy 77.
According to the Quiet Lakes web site Lost Land Lake, was missing from early logger maps. Teal Lake was originally called Tea Lake. Did you know that Ghost Lake's name was derived from an over-served logger who thought the wild wandering flowage disappeared in a ghostly fog.? The drive to the Quiet Lakes literally "quiets" the mind and the tour throughout this lake region in the heart of the Chequamegon National Forest is one of the most peaceful settings you will find.
In 1962 a speed limit of 10 mph was enacted prohibiting water skiing and jet skiing for that matter. Zoning requires 200' of lake shore per home rather than the usual 100' on other prime lakes. We can thank the folks who lived there and now populate the lakes for actively protecting this unspoiled environment.
Chris and Cindi from our office live on Teal Lake; they are an easy touch for a ride on their pontoon!
