We made good time across Owl and worked our way through this one to Tuscarora. I went back and forth a few times to help push the group through since only two of us were seemingly capable of canoe portaging at this stage (and we had three canoes.) It was a busy day on Tuscarora we could already tell from the landing, so we were moving as fast as possible to make Missing Link for the night.

A boulder field throughout this portage causes it to be a little slower to navigate.

Owl Lake end starts out as a rocky climb, and there might be a few mud puddles along the way but, it's basically just a moderate up and over.

Pretty rocky, go slow. Otherwise not a bad portage. 2/5
