Caption: Flambeau Trail – Continental Divide Marker
Additional Description: Inset: The closest navigable waterway, south of the continental divide, was Long Lake. Native Americans, who developed the Flambeau Trail, knew this centuries before maps were developed. From Long Lake south, easier travel by canoe was possible. For those traveling north, Long Lake marked the end of the navigable waters. All further travel, once north of the divide, was on foot.
