Mondeaux Dam Recreation Area
The Mondeaux Dam Recreation Area is located in Westboro, Wisconsin, United States. The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) and Work Projects Administration (WPA) created the lake and facilities during the Great Depression.
The Mondeaux Dam Recreation Area is part of the Chequamegon National Forest. Mondo Dam, as it is referred to by the locals, has four different camping sites including Eastwood, Spearhead Point, and West Point. The Ice Age National Scenic Trail runs through the recreation area which was created by the glaciers during the Ice Age. Mondo Dam offers activities such as fishing, swimming and boating.
==Background==
The basin that holds the Mondeaux Flowage, about three miles long and a quarter mile wide, is probably a tunnel channel cut by a meltwater stream beneath the Chippewa Lobe of the last glacier. At some point, an esker formed down the middle of that channel and along the west edge. By early historic times, a stream (the Mondeaux River) flowed northwest through that channel. The current lake is not natural.〔 Attig includes a great aerial photo of the flowage showing the esker islands much more clearly than one can see from a canoe.〕
By the 1930s, this part of Wisconsin had been logged for fifty years, leaving much of it in stumps and slashings. The logging companies sold some parcels to farmers, who settled and cleared some areas. Many parcels that didn't sell went tax-delinquent, grew up in brush, and were periodically burned by wildfires. In November of 1933, the Chequamegon National Forest was established, and the Forest Service began buying land across central Taylor County.〔
