Portage Description:
Sandy beaches on either end of this portage are great, with lots of room on the Basswood side. It is fairly flat, fairly wide, clearly defined, easy to find, just an all around great portage. A great way to end a trip coming out of the S-Chain back to P-P.

Lake after portage: Basswood
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:
Basswood is a BIG lake and can get nasty at times. However, there are lots of islands and bays and inlets that can provide shelter. Fishing is good to boot! The lake borders the US and Canada, so beware of catching Canadian fish on the US side and visa versa, you will need to bring each one to customs for a full inspection ;)
