Rock landing on the W.Bearskin side. Much better landing on the Duncan side. Easy trail, as it is very well used.

This is a pretty standard up and over portage. The Duncan landing was a bit rocky and we encountered multiple groups. Although it is always good to quickly move off a portage and keep it clear rather than lingering at the landings, that is particularly true at this busy spot.

Your basic up and over along a good trail. Rocky landings on both ends.

Easy portage with lots of beautiful trees.

Short, easy portage that I have only hiked over in the winter. Pulled an ice house and fishing gear easily.
