Phillips Bay Resort has been around since the 1925, where it started out with just a humble campground and has served the area as a resort for over 90 years. Big Basswood Lake is a significant feature of the North Shore of the Lake Huron area of the Canadian Shield. The incredibly clear waters boast an impressive depth visibility. Basswood's waters, derived primarily from lake-bottom springs, boasts an abundant fish population and surrounding forest cover. Pristine waters, surrounding forests, and outstanding rock formations create an appealing landscape that attracts cottagers and other vacationing visitors.
