Portage Description:
This portage is super easy--except for the boulders toward the Shell end. Some folks like to float their canoes by this one, but the footing is difficult and your canoe may suffer a little.

Lake after portage: Shell
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:
Shell is a shallow lake with as much underwater vegetation as you will see anywhere in the BWCAW. Be sure to stop and get some pictures of your crew on "Statue Rock" (the name I gave the rock island near the portage). Awesome backdrop!
