Lake Chippewa, also known as Chippewa Flowage, is an artificial lake in northwestern Wisconsin. It is fed by the East Fork Chippewa River and the West Fork Chippewa River. Winter Dam at the southern end is where the Chippewa River flows out of the lake.
There are numerous floating peat bogs in the lake, the largest of which is known as the "Forty-Acre Bog".
