Dent Lake had a major blowout relatively recently, dropping the water levels by nearly 4 feet. The impact on this portage is that the landing is a bit earlier than it used to be. Once we reached the intended portage landing, it was a beautiful, albeit overgrown, trail.

This was a bit overgrown and somewhat difficult to locate/follow but, rock cairns aided the traverse. Thought the vegetation alongside this portage was unique for the area (bwca).
