Brunet Island State Park, State park at Chippewa River, Wisconsin, US.
The 1,225-acre park encompasses a 169-acre island and mainland areas, featuring eastern hemlock forests and river channels at the confluence of Chippewa and Fisher Rivers.
Northern States Power donated the land in 1936, and the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed a log shelter in 1938 before the park opened in 1940.
The park bears the name of Jean Brunet, a French immigrant who developed the upper Chippewa River area with dams and sawmills for logging operations.
Two campgrounds offer 69 total sites, with 24 electric spots in South Campground and 45 non-electric locations in North Campground along the Chippewa River.
A 1977 tornado leveled 18 acres of the north-central part of Brunet Island, leading to natural regeneration with birch trees in the affected area.
