Barnes WI – Bayfield County
The town of Barnes is located in the westernmost end of Bayfield County Wisconsin.
In the year 1888, George S. Barnes came to this area with his wife Martha, and daughter Euseba. After looking the surrounding country over, he settled and built a small home on Island Lake (now known as Potawatomi Estates). The region at that time was largely an unsettled wilderness, heavily forested and inhabited mainly by Native American families, a few hardy woodsmen, and abundant wildlife.
Among the many lakes in the town of Barnes is the famous crystal clear and deep Eau Claire Chain, including the three largest Upper, Middle, and Lower Eau Claire, and several smaller lakes. This chain is the headwaters of the Eau Claire River, which flows into the St. Croix River at Gordon.
