Lower Long Lake

NEW AUBURN, WI

Long Lake (or as it is locally known, Lower Long Lake) is located in Chippewa County, Wisconsin, lying north and east of the city of Bloomer. This area is known as the Chippewa Moraine and was formed by the last Wisconsin glacier. Upon receding, the glacier deposited till to form a terminal moraine through the northern half of the county, consisting of many hills, bogs, swamps, and irregularly-shaped lakes. Lower Long Lake and the adjoining Herde Lake are the largest local body of water, containing 1,089 acres; 2nd deepest at 101 ft.; and most beautiful with tracts of carefully preserved wooded or wetland natural areas and restored shorelines fronting cottages and homes.
