As others have mentioned, this is not a difficult portage. The landing on the Adventure Lake side is one big rock, which makes for pretty easy loading or unloading.

Unremarkable, easy portage.

No problems and pretty nice landings. Adventure was a pretty lake, even in the rain. We didn't have any problems here.
