Pretty easy portage. I can see where it could get buggy, though we were there pre bug emergence. The west side of the portage is particularly nice, with plenty of good skipping rocks.

We had no problems coming through here on our staff training trip. Pretty flat and easy.

Only problem here is the preponderance of protruding rocks. Scenic rapid on Carp end.

Another easy portage, as is the case with all of the portages heading this way to Knife.

Pretty straight forward portage. A few rocks to manage but no big climbs or challenging aspects to it. Good landings both ends.
