Portage Description:
Long, moderate ups and downs and it had the potential to be very boggy. Several bogs were present and if you carried the canoe, you got muddy. Carrying a pack allowed us to make our way around them. We did it when it was relatively dry and it could have been a lot harder had it been wetter. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again.

Lake after portage: Badwater
Known campsites: 4
Lake Description:

Long east/west lake, good walleye fishing reported, although we traveled and didn't try for any. Camp on south shore about 2/3 of the way across from the above portage is a port in the storm if the others at the narrows are taken.
