when you go down Jean Creek, it will be mostly different than what your map shows for the portages.

lots of newer beaver dam activity - you can mostly paddle thru if water is high enough, otherwise pull overs - some of the portages are under water and not to be found.  When you get to the one very large dam , about 4 feet high (which drowned the longest portage shown on the Fisher map), go way right to the right end - you may be able to pull your boats around the end and slide thru the wet grass/mud back to the creek.  We did the reverse, going upstream in June.
