This is actually one of the easier and more pleasant portages around here. Both landings appear to be rocky from a distance, but they're not that bad compared to other nearby portages. It was a relief at the end of the day to have an easy portage. There are some fun cracks in the rocks on the Bonnie Lake end.

Slight gradient, no worries.

Unremarkable - short and easy going.
