This was our sixth portage of the day, and we were getting to the point of wishing we could just drag the boat through the obstacles, especially with such a short portage. Alas, it was not to be. The Adventure Lake landing has a low rock shelf that required exiting the boat early, but ultimately made unloading easy, since the rock is stable. The gravel on the Cattyman side was almost as harmless.

If coming from Jordan/Cattyman make sure to take a hard left after the portage from Jordan. The Adventure side has a rocky "ledge" where you get past that before loading up.

One of those incredibly annoying short portages. Fairly certain the description of 7 rods is even too much

Very short portage around a brushy, marshy stream(?) between Adventure and Cattyman. Otherwise unremarkable.
