All, I don't recall seeing sand beaches on Kasakokwog but that doesn't mean they're not there. There are campsites on the south end of BOTH islands due south of the portage from Cirrus. Also, there are a couple campsites on the southern shore, about a mile east of the Quetico portage in addition to the three on the north shore promontory, just to the east. The east end of the lake is riddled with good fishing reefs. The far western corner has a small hidden bay (just north of the portage from Quetico) where you're likely to spot moose in the swampy far reaches. Come to think of it, there just might be a sand beach on the southern shore of Kasakokwog, in the bay just below those two islands. An outfitter friend of mine once told me that, on multiple occasions, he has spotted wolves running along the "beach" there. I'm sure I checked it out but I just don't recall if it was sandy. Mostly I recall Kasakokwog as a great lake for sunsets & for watching my nine year-old boy skip stones... as I sat on the rocks sipping my evening beverage. Oh, yeah, I almost forgot. It's also a lake where miracles happen. That nine year-old dropped & lost our two rolls of film in a muddy portage at the end of the lake. All photographic evidence of our father/son outing disappeared seemingly forever... and we were mortified. A year later, a guy from Florida finds & develops the film. He tracks down the markings on the canoe to my Canadian outfitter friend. After a doing little research, they locate me and, soon afterward, the film is in the mail. I've seen some kindnesses done in the Park. For me, that one was the greatest. Pictures of my little guy skipping stones into the sunset on Kasakokwog are among my most prized possessions.
