Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest (locals pronounce it something like "she's warm again") is a 1,519,800 acre (6,150 km²) U.S. National Forest in northeastern Wisconsin in the United States. Much of the old growth forest in this region was destroyed by logging in the early part of the 20th century. Some of the trees that grow there today were planted by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. Chequamegon National Forest and the Nicolet National Forest were established by presidential proclamations in 1933 and have been managed as one unit since 1993.
The national forest is best known for recreation, including camping, hiking, fishing, and cross country skiing.
The Chequamegon National Forest is also home to one of the two Extremely Low Frequency antennae in the United States.
