Boundary Waters Portages

These portage descriptions have been submitted by paddlers more or less like yourself. Conditions and perceptions will change with time and experience. One persons "easy" could always be another's "never again." Descriptions from visitors are accepted in good faith.

CONDITIONS CHANGE!
Please use common sense
before relying on these descriptions.

To find a portage look for the lake on either side. It may be listed on one direction but not the other, so check both lakes. Descriptions from visitors are accepted in good faith. Please use common sense before relying on these descriptions.

If you feel any portage description is totally inaccurate let me know.

This resource follows a time honored tradition of paddlers helping paddlers. You can return the favor by adding a portage.
