This was what I was thinking as well, I cant really think of a downside to bringing a Kayak on this type of trip. Thanks for the input.

We will be getting a tow, so I was not counting prairie portage.

They could get towed down to Basswood over on the truck portage :) I guess that is still technically a portage though.....haha

Still gotta walk it unless you pay the hauling fee!
Most canoeists don't pay the fee! :)

In the process of planning a basswood trip to target mainly smallmouth. Just wondering if there were any opinions, for or against, the kayak idea since there would be no portages. I would be the only kayak with two other canoes, so the storage issue wouldn't be a big deal that I can see. At this point I can't really think of a reason not to, but would love to here any experiences either way. Thanks in advance.
