Portage Description:
There are two portages between Kett and Ranger Bay of Basswood. The first is about 160 rods and has at least six logs about 31/2 ft high that you have to step over. The second portage is listed on one of my Fisher maps as being only 170 rods . . . it is a misprint. this portage is 270 rods so be aware.

Lake after portage: Basswood
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:
