Wisconsin’s Lac du Flambeau tribe charges public for boat-landing permits

Anglers, water skiers, business owners, and lakefront owners who are not Lac du Flambeau (LdF) tribal members are being told by LdF leaders they will have to buy a permit to launch watercraft within the boundaries of the reservation. More specifically, the tribe is saying use of boat launches within the Lac du Flambeau reservation boundaries will be segregated after tribal officials announced last week they are implementing a process, beginning immediately, that will charge for use of certain landings on tribal land.
