SpellingEdit
The spelling of "Namekagon" or "Namakagon" are known to be used. "Namekagon," with the fourth letter being an "e," is the more common spelling, especially concerning the Namekagon River that flows out of Lake Namakagon. The spelling of "Namakagon" however, with the fourth letter being an "a," is a very common spelling in the upper reaches of the Namekagon River area, especially concerning Lake Namakagon where the lake association is called the "Namakagon Lake Association." Also, for many years from the 1960s to the 1980s, a river boat named the "Namakagon Queen" was located in Hayward, WI and provided tourists with tours of the "Namekagon/Namekagon River."
