Decent landings on both ends. There is a nice rock shelf on the downstream end that is perfect for taking packs on/off. Trail climbs only slightly. Kekekabic Hiking Trail cuts through the portage but, common sense should get you where you need to go.

We ended up pulling out and carrying this one. The water level was decent, but we didn't know what it would hold. Easy carry, landings weren't bad.
