Small rant first: I go to Recreation.gov to see what permits are available for EP26 and everything is listed by lake name. Why do bwca'ers insist on using code for lake names!! So I google and find it is Wood Lake.


Answer to OP: I love Wood Lake as a quick, easy, short trip option. The portage is is a bit long, but not too difficult. Then you have to paddle a bit to get to good fishing spots and campsites. But it is a pretty lake and not bad fishing. I usually do Wood Lake as a day trip.


Only problem that I see is you would have to enter on July 3 or 4 or Aug 29.
