Interesting to piece together where/what the trail was versus what it is now from everyone's recollection! I had just paddled past a campsite on my right on the way to this. I backtracked, got out at the campsite and climbed into the woods looking for the portage trail. No luck.

So, I got back in, paddled another couple of yards and found the beaver dam/rocks and low waterf with a dirt embankment and trail on the right. I climbed it, came to the bald rock and....no trail. There wasn't even a hint of trail to the sharp right as the embankment dove steeply into the water.

I calculated, as others are surmising here that the trail must be under water and put back in. I thought about paddling down the stream with the sheer granite face wall to the left (everyone remember that?) but decided against it because I had no idea where it went. This is when I backtracked again, paddled into the swamp on my left and found the trail picking up as it climbed another embankment and headed into the woods.

In hindsight, it would be great if you could float past the bog section on your right, somehow take-out close to the woods, skirt that edge of the bog to the trail and continue on. The rest of the trail to Kash is in very good shape and a relatively easy walk to the lake.

This current way is far more adventurous. Nearly had mud in my pockets on this one  ;D
