Harlan at Red Lake Outfitters made sure WCPP was ready for paddlers this year. I spent 23 days just after ice out helping him out by clearing as I did my canoe trip. My strong recommendation is not to attempt any route that has not had a chain saw crew through it this spring. Another thread here has a link to the park's  June 10 update on portage conditions. The park was going to have 3 crews continuing the portage clearing. There are ample routes open but some have yet to be cleared. Watch for the updates or contact Harlan at Red Lake Outfitters for the latest openings. They do not make a hand saw to handle what some of those portages contain.
