Woodland Caribou Portage 20213 (Talon to Unnamed)

*2025 Update*: I knocked back some of the re-growth on the north side so a path is now starting to from. But otherwise still an open field for most of the way. More undergrowth is starting to grow back on the south side as bushes, but you can still see around them so still take the path of least resistance instead of wasting time looking for a worn trail. *2023*I had trouble finding this portage from the Talon side, so built a rock cairn marking it once I did. This whole north shore of Talon Lake re-burned in 2021 just as it was recovering from the 2016 fire. It burned everything and in places right down to rock, leaving only a few standing dead trees at both entrances of the portage. Otherwise pretty much a open field. The burn was so bad that the undergrowth is struggling to grow back, so there really is not a path of follow, more a general area. The area reminds me of the arctic barrenlands. The only other area in the Park burned this bad is south of Murdock Lake, and east of Garner Lake to Mather Lake. I marked it the best I could with orange flagging so hopefully a path will be worn in once the undergrowth grows back. The north entrance is also marked with a rock cairn. Here, I cleaned up the fallen burnt deadfall with a handsaw, but expect more to fall over in the next few years.
