Portage Description:
Landing at beginning of portage is on a wooden platform, be careful here. Portage trail is a bit hilly but not bad. When we put in at Ottertrack Lake we found out the bay was isolated from the rest of the lake by low water. There appeared to be a make shift portage on the south side of Ottertrack. It was so swampy and mucky that we turned around and went back to Swamp Lake.
