WA-SWA-GONING
(the place where they spear fish by torchlight)

Walk a rustic trail lined with flora and fauna, foxfire, and a forest of diverse trees as you listen to the sounds of the various birds, from the loon to the eagle, greeting you.

Built on 20 acres along the shore of beautiful Moving Cloud Lake on the Lac du Flambeau Indian Reservation, Was-Swa-Goning was the Ojibwe name of our whole area. The French name of our whole area. The French fur traders called it Lac du Flambeau (Lake of Fire) when they saw the torches on the lakes as the Ojibwe speared fish at night.

A unique learning experience for the entire family. The only village of its kind in the Northwoods.
