Longer than other portages in the area with some ups and downs but nothing too difficult. No breeze the morning we came through...and plenty of bugs! Pretty area and enjoyable walk.

This portage, though longer than the others, didn't challenge us too much. The landings are nice and the portage was in decent shape.

This portage shows 185 rods on the map and seems more hilly throughout although net downhill. Near the Insula end it has some steep drops toward the end where you want to watch your footing.

Longish, but fairly flat. Ran into a moose about half way across.
