I've paddled by there, several times, on Darky River. Never seen or heard of anyone using said portage. You might check with Park office, unless you're looking for another Baptism River style shortcut to impress your newbie. ;D

Gotta break-in my new young paddling partner somewhere, I suppose, eh?

BTW, thanks to you & Snow_Dog for all the suggestions re: introducing a teen to this region of the park.  So far I've had two sons for guinea pigs and my batting average is pretty good but new perspectives & ideas certainly help. 

I'm thinking campsites with swimming holes/beaches will gain fairly high priority on my list if this heat wave keeps up!
