Blackdog...Here's some info on Basswood

1.) There's two main entrances into Basswood, one is a manual portage from Fall Lake into the West end of Basswood--25hp or less. The other is on the East side through the Moose Lake chain--25hp or less and this is a vehicle portage from Sucker Lake into Basswood, $20.00 for both or $10.00 each way.

2.) The lake is divided into the MN side and the Canadian side. If your using a boat w/motor you must stay on the MN side unless you have a canadian fishing license and a RABC, Remote Area Border Cross Permit, $30.00

3.) If your entering either side with a canoe there is no charge for the portage providing you do it yourself.

4.) No bait can be transported into the canadian side unless it is purchased on the Canadian side, with the exception of Nightcrawlers.

5.) My suggestions would be to go into the Fall Lake side if you are going to travel by canoe and if by boat go into the moose side.

Any specific questions I would be happy to answer!
