Portage Description:
There are two take out points. The trails converge after a short ways. One seems to be preferred by canoeists, and the other by the big fishing boats. It is mildly rocky and hilly. It follows alongside some falls and rapids.
Lake after portage: Basswood*
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:
Clear, but very tannin laden. Perhaps this is a result of the blowdown. You will now be on Basswood.
