Portage Description:
Portage seems to go up a rock face for about 3 rods, right before this little slab of treachery, there are swamps with thick mud which grab a good hold of boots, and/or people. Great climb up what seems like a mountain. When traveled, the portages still contained down trees, and made going slow, most were easily scalable, about crotch height. Then the rest was fairly simple.

Lake after portage: Kahshahpiwi
Known campsites: 8+
Lake Description:

Beauitiful,(capital b) the lake was a stirring sight after a fair portage, the water was a little gucky at the landing, but cleared up soon after. Good sunset behind the lookout tower. Nice island campsite, would recommend for large group 6+.
