Quetico portages Posted by: Kim Young Season/Year: Summer 02 Water Level: low Length: 4 separate portages 660 rods Rating: average | Additional Perspectives: Portage Description: The second portage is one long one, not two long portages as suggested on some maps. The creek is dry and those 2 have been joined to make one long walk in the woods. Starts out with a 160 rod portage that is your typical Quetico portage. A little rocky, marshy, a few trees to maneuver around. Short downhill to a pond. Can't miss the beginning of the long portage, big open rock area west end of portage. The trail is very flat and nice. A few ups and downs. Some rocky areas, and some areas around where the creek has dried up in the middle of the portage that may be wet in rainy/wet year. Short downhill to a pond at the end. Then a few beaver dams and another (3rd) portage along a rocky creek-only about 30 rods. Put in and paddle in a pond and go directly west until you will take a short 13 rod portage to Conmee. You're done. You've done the Death March. Our group did the Memory Lane portages from Pooh Bah to Conmee 2 years ago, and we all agreed those 3 portages combined were much more difficult than the Death March portages.
