The portages into Fourtown can be brutal for a newbie. Once past the falls there is no portaging for as long as you want. I really enjoyed site 1859 on Wednesday Bay. Perfect site for just two people. Can't beat the view and the fishing around the area is great. You can go a long ways to the west through Crooked and turn around and come back the same way or get adventurous and heads south out of Friday Bay back to Mudro. You can avoid the portages at Fourtown by heading over to Horse Lake out of Fourtown if you want or maybe by then she would have her trail legs. They are pretty cool but tough. I took a spill this year when I stepped out at the landing and managed to find a hole. Sunk to my hip and almost flipped the canoe. Was kind of embarrassing! |

It was passable and we got through it. We ended up doing the loop since my two new to canoe tripping buddies didn’t want to go back up the Horse River again! We came out yesterday from Fourtown after a heavy rain. Those portages are definitely challenging without having slippery wet rock. Ryan |

Thank you for all the help. I'm really looking forward to our trip here in a few days! |

The scenery was beautiful, the portages weren't too terrible (well there were a couple that got your heart rates going), and the fishing was very good. I am normally a paddler who looks more towards enjoying the fishing on my trips and this trip we did less fishing and more traveling which turned out surprisingly great and was a pleasant surprise. You could easily just stay around the "falls area" on Basswood/Crooked then turn around and exit out thru Horse/Mudro and have a great time. |

This is REALLY last minute but with all my busy schedule I've failed to plan my trip! For the past 10 years I've always came in nina/moose and straight up to Iron Lake in one day. I just really enjoyed that route and I knew where to find fish, it never disappointed me. This year is different as I'm bringing my fiancée (her first trip my 12th or so). I've never been through Mudro and would like to push hard about 6-8 hours and base camp for 5 days. Any and ALL campsites and destinations welcome! Good fishing lake a plus (SMB Walleye & Northern) Current and Waterfalls also a plus of course. Please help me plan our trip as we head out in 2 weeks! Thanks in advance! |

6-8 hours could easily get you to Lower Basswood Falls area out of Mudro. This is a great first trip destination for your finance. Basswood Falls are gorgeous, Close by you have Wheelbarrow Falls, pictos, and you can make a day trip to Table Rock. You will be able to find fish below the falls. I would suggest an early start if you go this route. The winds on Horse Lake can pick up and be brutal, especially for a first timer. The only difficult portage is from Mudro to Sandpit, after that, they are all fairly flat and easy. Depending on water levels, there may be some additional pull-overs on the Horse River. This is also a very popular spot, so expect to see people and full campsites. An early start helps here as well. |
