No need to limit this to the BW/Q.  Any portage anywhere can be thrown in as a favorite.



Good.  Then I'll go with what Martin Kehoe has called “The Slot Portage.”  This unique portage runs down the middle of a burbling stream which flows 50 meters or so through a major cleft in a high vertical rock face at the north end of Irvine Lake in WCPP.  When rays of sunshine filter through early morning mists and illuminate that chasm with a soft glow, you begin to think you are portaging through some remarkably beautiful wilderness cathedral.  Anyway, I'll not soon forget it. 

Kingfisher & I had "bushwhacked" into remote Irvine Lake the hard way (from the east).  Exiting via this unique portage somehow made that extreme effort feel worthwhile.
