Title: Re: WCPP Portage database
Post by Marten on Sep 30th, 2012 at 1:39am
This is a list of the portages for the Onnie Access on the east side of the park to Carroll Lake on the west side. There are no nasty issues with any of these portages. I used this route in July, 2012. It is an excellent way to get deep into the park in a short time. You can then easily head to many other sections. Keeping a steady pace and double portaging it took me 8 hours to get to a campsite near the east end of Glennn Lake, about 17 miles. It took another 12 hours to get to the east side of Carroll Lake, 25 miles from the Glenn Camp. These times exclude any rest breaks or meal times.

Please understand that there could be some mistakes from entering all these numbers. Overall it should allow for easier navigation across WCPP. The NAD 27 datum matches most of the 50,000 scale topo maps for WCPP. If you enter these NAD 27 numbers in a program set for NAD83 you will be 200 meters off location in WCPP. Please notify me of any needed  corrections.
