Climbs slightly most of the way coming out of Ottertrack, before dropping back down to Knife.

Nothing bad, easy carry through. Pretty area too.

Slightly uphill on each end. Short so nothing to worry about here.

The other portage between Knife-Ottertrack is a much easier portage although a longer paddle
