Basswood
Basswood Island has a dock on the west side near the center of the island. It’s generally reliable in fair weather. On the south side, you’ll find the historic quarry and a large rock with cleats—please do not tie rental boats to rocks. Be cautious of the old cribbing from the quarry dock, which still remains underwater.

On the north end of the island is a notable geological feature—a small rock island separated from the shore by a tombolo, known variously as Honeymoon Rock, Soldier Rock, or as locals affectionately call it, Baby Basswood.

Hermit Island has no easy way to approach. The east side features an old quarry, where weathered sandstone blocks still sit, seemingly waiting for a barge that will never come. It’s a fascinating island to cruise around, but not one that’s easily accessible for landing or going ashore.
