This portage was a mess, but I made it passable with a handsaw in September 2021. The south end requires a pull over a floating bog. *2025 Update*: I had time in the afternoon during my Sabourin-Dutch loop to paddle down here and clear this portage. It was a mess. Very overgrown. I don't think anyone has used it since I saw it last in 2021. I got half down this portage clearing this portage with a handsaw, but ran out of time and had to turn around back to Thickwood. But I ran into a WCPP portage clearing crew later in my trip and these two portages were on their "To-Do List". Therefore I am sure they are now passable.
