Entry point has not been chosen yet, so nothing is set in stone. But probably drive up to Ely. |

Welcome to the board. Thannks to Tuscarora below - Cattyman was the last falls I was at a couple years ago. The other one was a long time ago and don't recall which it was. |

Upper Basswood, Wheelbarrow, and Lower Basswood. All 3 are where the Basswood River flows from Basswood Lake into Crooked. |

BAWaters: " And also the main basswood falls you can camp just off the long portage. Kind of a fun spot... All the times I've gone by Devil's Cascade I've only once seen any real amount of water in it. Curtain falls is a nice one. And yes, as one who has flipped on the iron lake side, your better off portaging to or from the south side of the point to avoid that spot. There is two entries to that portage off iron lake. The shorter is better going toward iron but the longer is better coming off iron in my opinion. |

I have this photo as my wallpaper on my computer at work. It's been helping me to keep my sanity of late. (only 8 more months...) |

Camped next to the top of Lower Basswood Falls during a solo in early May last year. The water was high, and they were impressive. Will never forget the sound of rushing water as I drifted off to sleep, and having my morning cup of coffee while sitting next to them. |

The answers will come flocking in shortly, but one waterfall that is absolutely worth the price of admission to see is Curtain Falls on the border with Quetico. It's located at the far western end of Crooked Lake. |

quote Unas10: "How much water has to fall how far before the falling water is considered a waterfall? That's the $64,000 question right there. Considering that many lakes are connected by rivers or streams and there is an elevation change between most lakes, one could find a waterfall between almost any bodies of water. |
