Portage Description: Although I did not think it was so bad, the consensus of the group was it was a killer, but this was from a couple of rookies and an out of shape smoker. It has a climb of 55’ in the first half but descends 130’ to Slim Lake. For a net downhill, run of 75’. This portage had some tight footing between rocks and drop-offs; the portage is not a well traveled, but generally a pretty walk. Lake after portage: Slim Known campsites: 2 Lake Description: Slim Lake is long and narrow, with a log jam separation into Section 3 Pond. The Northern most campsites are spectacular, with shear face wall that climbs 30' and a covey area for 3 tents. A beautiful campsite perched on a very nice lake. Fishing was iffy but we were there in late August. Portage from Slim into: Section 3 Pond Keneu
