Hatchet Lake may be what you are looking for. It is only four portages and most groups would need about a half day to get there. The park info lists Walleye, Lake Trout and Northern Pike for Hatchet Lake. A nice size and shape for base camping and fishing. The park campsite map shows two sites. The campsite on the main body is 2 miles up the lake from the Douglas Portage and 1 mile from the portage to Peterson Lake. UTM15U 408351 5649157.There is room for two small tents near the water but when I first visited I went up into the trees and threw the fallen wood aside and set up there. It is on a small point and should have good breezes. The other campsite is at the portage to Peterson and would have no breeze.

There is a private cabin near the Douglas Portage. There are also boats cached at the Douglas Portage. I am not an avid fisherman so cannot give any rating on how good the fishing is. I have been there 3 times and have never seen another person on the lake.
