Thanks all for the replies. We ended up taking the Four Mile portage to Ella Hall lake. It might have been closer to 4 miles, but the flat trail, packed by dog sleds, was just what the doctor ordered for our friend. Ella Hall is a beautiful lake and ours seemed to be the first tracks on it all winter.

quote Flatlandr: "Thanks both for the replies - two good options.
Walllee, do you happen to know if access to Entry #8 is usually plowed?"
Latest intel on that is the road is not plowed. This should be helpful:
Access points plowed

Entry # 8 Moose River South, snowshoe into Big Moose via the Big Moose trail. Great campsites, great fishing, nice hike.

Hi All -
I'm mostly a lurker but thanks to the great advice here I've had 5 years of excellent winter trips of varying difficulty. I have a group of 5 going out again this year but one of our members now has a health issue that prevents him from exerting himself too much, so we'd like to find a place to camp that's not too far of a snowshoe, maybe 2-3 miles. This is just a 3 night trip out of Ely. It'd be nice if there was some fishing - and maybe not too crowded - but we understand that the closer in we are the more folks we can expect to see. And that's fine - getting into the BW is often reward enough. Anyway, any spots come to mind? Thanks!

Well welcome then. Try Hegman as an entry and camp on Little Bass lake. The portage into Little Bass was beautiful when we campd there. Hegman is a down hill trot of about 1/4 mile.
Angle worm lake is also very nice.
Best of luck on your trip.

Mud Lake for non-stop pike action...takes about an hour hike from Fall Lake boat landing. Your buddy will appreciate the trail packed hard by dog teams...minimal exertion if you stay on the trail.
