The U.S Forest will be drawing down water levels on the Mondeaux Flowage this winter. The purpose of this drawdown is to improve the sport fishery by providing temporary control of weed densities; and thereby increasing winter oxygen levels, which reduces the potential for winter kill of fish. The drawdown will begin the week of September 30th, 2024, and be completed by the first part of November 2024. Water levels will drop approximately 2- 4 per day for a total of 4-6 ft when completed. The flowage will be refilled beginning March 1st, 2025, and be completely refilled by mid-April, 2025. There have been periodic drawdowns on the Mondeaux Flowage since the winter of 1971-72 with the most recent in the winter of 2017-18.

Overview
Spearhead Point Campground is one of the most popular campgrounds on the scenic Mondeaux Flowage. Unique family-oriented campsites and access to panoramic views of the lake are unprecedented elsewhere in the forest. The campground provides numerous opportunities for recreation and enjoyment of the surrounding area.
Recreation
Boating, swimming and fishing are popular activities. Anglers can expect to find a variety of species, including pike, largemouth bass and bluegill.
