Portage Description: This portage has a richly deserved reputation for misery. The first problem is that it's usually the 6th or 7th portage of the day (assuming one is traveling from North Bay), and few of those are short or easy. Yum-Yum (also known as Dum-Dum) begins with a marshy take-out which leads up the muddy drainpipe of a high ridge. When it rains, as it was during my last visit) you'll be slogging Lake after portage: Kahshahpiwi Known campsites: 2 Lake Description: Kahshahpiwi is a beautiful lake under any circumstances, but after Dum-Dum it looks like the promised land. There are two campsites (at least) at the south end of the lake, offering immediate respite for the weary traveler.
