_ The Conservancy continues to partner with the Friends of the White River, the Wild Rivers Chapter of Trout Unlimited and the Wisconsin DNR to buy key properties along the White River in Ashland and Bayfield Counties to protect this unique and scenic trout stream and watershed. Traversing one of Wisconsin's largest wetlands, the 10,000 acre Bibon Marsh, the White River is exceptionally pristine and diverse. Harboring high quality aquatic habitat, the White River’s 60 miles of flow includes: 44 miles of DNR classified Outstanding or Exceptional Resource Waters and 20 miles of Class 1 Trout Waters.  The White River Watershed’s many habitats are home to rare and threatened species such as American martens, Red shouldered hawks, Cerulean warblers and other imperiled songbirds.

The White River Fisheries area is quite large. See this map for a more detailed view of this area.

“Trout anglers often speak of the White in almost reverent tones because it harkens back to a day when Wisconsin was on the country's frontier."
