04/15/2006 Paddling Friends6 Near the west shore of the south portion of the flowage, look for an island bounded by a white picket fence. It contains a memorial (built by Jon & Kathleen Marsh) for Wisconsin soldiers who lost their lives for us in Iraq & Afghanistan. There is a dock; you are welcome to stop and pay your respects to these men & women who made the supreme sacrifice for us.
