Portage Description: The map said this portage was 48 rods, but it seemed longer. I think we were one of the first groups to come through this portage this year Ö the first guy through was basically blazing the trail. Trees were down all over the place and there were many slippery ankle twisting rocks to walk over. A big tree had fallen across the creek that was a treat to get around. At the end of the portage, there was a marshy bog with a stream too small to paddle, so we had to line our canoe through that for a bit before finally getting to paddle. This portage, I thought, was a blast, but itís not for the novice or the faint of heart. Itís a hard portage, but maybe if used more wouldnít have been too bad. I am glad I had the pack and not the canoe on this one.
