It's been 20 years, but this is the second most difficult portage in the park, after Poobah to the Malign. Much easier to get into Ferguson via the creek from McKenzie to Ferguson, which you can paddle through without a portage. But this destination is one of the prettiest lakes in the park. And one of the best for lake trout fishing. The Cache to Ferguson portage is mostly mud and bog, and you can sink in deep if you put one step in the wrong place (waist or chest high). A truly great challenge though for people who are in shape.
