Description
Hub is a moderate sized and somewhat
isolated lake, anchoring the connection between the Frost River country
in the north, and the Louse River route to the south. Hub Creek flows out
of the northeastern corner of the lake, through a series of ponds and lowland
bog, to Fente on the Frost. A 339 rod portage, just over a mile in length,
more directly connects Hub to the Frost. To the south, a 105 rod portage
connects with Mesaba, and beyond to Sawbill/Alton.
Campsites
Hub has three campsites, one each on
the northern, eastern, and western shores. Hub is not an easy lake to get
to and so on most occasions you will have your pick of sites.
Planning Considerations
Hub provides the only north/south route
over a large expanse of the South Central BWCA and so in spite of the long
portages (two of more than a mile in length between Alton
and the Frost) it is a route worthy of consideration. It is also a principle
approach to the upper end of the Louse watershed.
