If you are coming from Ahsub Lake, you need to go pretty deep to see the landing. The lake of the lake has changed a lot, Google map is pretty accurate about it compared with printed map we have from the outfitter.

If you are coming from Jitterbug, the landing is located in the marshy area. Look for an inlet that's a little more devoid of lily pads than the rest. Portage itself wasn't bad, just finding the landing is.

It may have been the weather, or the fatigue of a long trip, but we struggled immensely to find the portage landing on the Jitterbug side. Pretty weedy landing.

This is a good portage with nice landings on both sides the channels are a bit shallow and weedy.

Muddy on Jitterbug side, short and easy.

Very muddy, with sink holes, shallow landing that makes it difficult to land loaded.
