HIDEAWAY

Lake Wissota was formed by the construction of a hydroelectric dam on the Chippewa River in 1915. The area, flooded in 1917, was generally a little used forest and swamp wasteland. Some farms, however, were forced to move. Built by the Wisconsin-Minnesota Light and Power Company, an engineer on the project named the lake by combining the beginning of "Wisconsin" and the ending of "Minnesota". When completed in 1917 it was the world's largest manmade lake... Visit Hideaway Resort in Chippewa Falls, WI.
