Fisherhubby wanted to go exploring today to find a lake that folks have been telling him he should fish.
So, we set out late this afternoon in search of Lake Arrowhead.
When I saw where Arrowhead was located, I knew there was something BIGGER and BETTER very nearby, as you can see on this map.
Lake Arrowhead is the tiny minnow at the center of the map and Petenwell Flowage is the GIANT WHALE just to the left.
So, after finding Arrowhead, I directed our path toward:
But do not be fooled by the seeming smallness of the lake in this picture - - - later you will really see something.
Being, by this time, quite hungry and ready for our suppers we decided to give it a try.
BTW - - - flowage is what we Wisconsinites call reservoirs.
You can't tell it by looking at our table, but Petenwell is more than 10 miles long and covers more than 23,000 square acres!
It's honkin' big!
This is a very important distance to know!
(Even blue-blooded COLTS fans, like me, need to know
when they live in Wisconsin!)

The world of Central Wisconsin,
To YOUR world at Communal Global.

That lake is absolutely beautiful Keetha. What a pretty place. I love that you went on this adventure : ) Laughed about your husband picking the only table without lures.
I think I also would have chosen the map table, liking to know where things are you know! The lake is beautiful. Our favorite lake in these parts is called Lake Lure!!!
WOW! That lake (and its surrounds) is so beautiful! Almost like an ocean! I'm not surprised that FH picked that table though - I bet he was studying it, working out the best fishing locations when he SHOULD have been concentrating on chewing his luncheon properly!! These boys!!! Great idea to fix the eye-catching lures into the tables as well.
Lots of love to you,

Don't you just love to drive on roads you've never been on!? My favorite sort of day.
The Petenwell Flowage looks like the Wisconsin Sea.
Interesting that FH chose the map table. Is he working on his skills? This looks like a fun adventure.
That looks like a just, down and dirty really fun place. Love the signage and the tables.
Petenwell is huge! The restaurant looks like fun. Hope the food was good.
I wanna go and fish there.
I would have liked to sit at the table with the map, too. I'm fascinated with maps. How far to the Pack is very important. :)
