Very easy to find from both ends. Smoke landing is pretty rocky, but nothing too bad. Some muddy spots in the middle. Burnt end comes out in a shallow, weedy area.This portage is on a major travel route and is used quite frequently. 3/10.

Pretty easy portage. Buggy when we visited, but of course your experience can be very different. Landing on Smoke is a bit rocky, but if you're wet footing it then it isn't too hard to hoist the canoe up without scratching it up. 3/10

Smoke end is rocky, starts out with an uphill for a short distance, levels out. Some rocks and mud holes here and there. Gradual slope down to Burnt. Decent trail, not difficult.

Not a difficult portage with just a few muddy areas.

Pretty flat and easy. The downed tree referenced in the previous review must have been cleared. We didn't run into it.

Pretty easy - a little rocky and muddy with a large downed tree in the middle. Some moderate elevation change but overall nothing too difficult.
