This is certainly no longer a "lovely portage trail" as it was in 2014! It's a bit (lot) of a disaster now. We added to the many flags and cairns that were already there but the route is very difficult to follow in the complete burn without a GPS track.

The 2021 fire burned out the underbrush but left many standing dead trees. I gave up trying to find the south end start of this portage on Wrist Lake and simply walked north following my GPS and the path of least resistance. Easy to do in 2022 but might be difficult in the next few years once the underbrush grows back. I could not find the start of the portage on the north side. There is a bit of drop off down to the lake. The Park staff will have to re-build/mark this portage or someone with more time.
