Portage Description: Even though there is a sign to start the portage(probably due to its being moved) I had a little difficulty in finding it, but did, finally. The landing was fine, a few submerged rocks that were easily avoided. It has just received a 420 Rod designation on Fischer maps, I concur, it seemed longer. The start is tough, with a number of ups and downs. The footing had to be watched and then placed as a lot of rocks exist, this is for about 200 Rods, you then come to a meadow with a short boardwalk. From here to Crab Lake it is a gradual climb on a very nice path which levels and in the last 30 Rods slightly descends to a nice sandy put-in. Lake after portage: Crab* Known campsites: 8+ Lake Description: Wonderful lake with 4 legs to explore. Decent clarity and fishing. Portage from Crab* into: Little Crab Clark
