释义 |
Saxon Harbor is located on Lake Superior's Oronto Bay in Iron County, Wisconsin, United States.[1] The harbor, adjacent to Oronto Creek, is a part of a county park that includes deep sea fishing, camping and a sandy beach stretching for four miles westward.[2][3] Historically, this was near the beginning of an ancient Native American trade route known as the Flambeau Trail and was the site of a fur trading post operated by John Jacob Astor's American Fur Company from 1808 to 1830. In 2006, a $2.17 million expansion to the harbor was completed. Primarily funded by a Section 154 grant set up by State Representative Dave Obey, the project added a new harbor basin, shoreline protection, new docks and restroom facilities and American Disability Act-complaint sidewalks.[4] On the night of July 11, 2016, a major storm destroyed the harbor. Oronto Creek spilled over its banks, washing down trees and brush; its water flowed into the harbor, washing away boats, vehicles, asphalt, concrete, and trailers at the campground. One fatality occurred at the harbor.[5] References1. ^{{cite gnis|1580353|Saxon Harbor (Wisconsin)}} {{coord missing|Wisconsin}}{{IronCountyWI-geo-stub}}2. ^http://tourism.state.wi.us/item_detail/Saxon_Harbor.aspx 3. ^http://www.ironcountywi.com/camping.aspx 4. ^http://www.ironwooddailyglobe.com/0919harb.htm 5. ^{{Cite news|url=http://www.duluthnewstribune.com/news/4072522-flooding-causes-major-damage-saxon-harbor-one-fatality-reported|title=Flooding causes major damage at Saxon Harbor|newspaper=Duluth News Tribune|access-date=July 19, 2016}} 2 : Geography of Iron County, Wisconsin|Ports and harbors of Wisconsin |
