This is one of my favorite little scenic portages. The north end in particular is beautiful with its old dock footing and small waterfall. The steep valley adds to the charm.

Pretty well hidden coming from Karl. A very manageable portage that can get muddy after a rain.

Trail was a little muddy and has a moderate hill to negotiate. Scenic rapids on the Lower George side.
