Portage Description:
Everyone that goes through Prairie Portage on their way into Quetico is very familiar with this short portage to the Ranger station on Basswood. Just a caution, on the Moose Lake side of the portage is a tree near the water line on the right, in the tree lives a thieving Red Squirrel waiting to get into your food pack. He did only slight damage to us but the potential is there for worse. He is quite bold.

Lake after portage: Basswood
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:
Basswood, as you know, has gobs of campsites. On the way out the sites seem okay, but after being out for a couple of weeks you may realize that the sites are generally trashy due to the high usage by the 1 week trippers.
