Short and flat - unmemorable.

Easy and level portage but both landings are rocky.

Rocky and uneven, especially on the Fraser Lake end. The Gerund landing is not obvious, except that there's no place else for it to be at the end of the lake. The other portages on this stretch are much more challenging.

Rocky landings on both ends. Trail is level.

Nice easy path through here. Quick carry and we were on our way.

Had tons of pollen buildup on the Fraser side in early June. Rocks were slippery!
