Description
Hassel is a small, relatively shallow
lake in the Lunetta Creek drainage of the Little Indian Sioux, 28¾
miles southeast of Crane Lake and 12½ miles WNW of Ely. At
the far north end of the lake is the source of Hassel Creek, which flows
north, nearly a mile, to Lunetta.
The Independence Day windstorms of 1999 did not affect the immediate
Hassel area, short of knocking down much of the timber on the hilltop
off the northwestern shore.
Campsites
Hassel supports one established campsite,
along the northeastern shore.
Planning Considerations
Hassel is part of a group of small, interconnected
lakes clustered near the southern boundary of the BWCAW, just to the southwest
of Crab. Other lakes in the group are Battle,
Boulder, Clark, Glimmer,
Meat, Phantom, Saca,
and Sprite.
