Nice site, although a fair bit of traffic passes by heading to the Basswood Falls portage. Great area to sit at the edge of the water on gently sloping rock. Toilet is a fair distance back into the woods. We had three tents setup without much trouble...a six person, a four person, and a solo. Lots of sun exposure, but overall a good site.

This was on my very first guide trip. We stopped in for a snack before tackling the mile-long portage and couldn't even find the BIFF here. Hmm... This site is open canopied and quite brushy.
