The east end of this portage is very rocky, but wide enough to handle a couple of groups. The west end of the portage is one big rock with interesting striations. It can be a little slippery, but is generally not too bad. Not too bad of a portage, really.

Nothing to it. Pretty little portage. Easy peasy.

Pretty short and easy. We had to coordinate our landings for three canoes.
