Fish: crappie, sunfish, bowfin, bullhead, catfish eelpout, large/small/rock bass, muskellunge, northern pike, tullibee, walleye, white sucker, perch. Historic Fact: The Battle of Sugar Point in 1898 between U.S. Federal troops and the resident Chippewa (Ojibwe) Indians was the last true Indian battle in the United States. This is largely ignored in history, quite likely because the Indians won the battle. The battle began a chain of events that eventually led to government control of national forest lands and the creation of the Chippewa National Forest. 71
