As other have said this is a very easy portage. The only thing to watch for is lots of rocks on both sides, however there are spots to easily avoid them

Easy, essentially flat, can be tricky to find from the lake one landing side as it's tucked back into a bay. As mentioned, it's a highway... be aware/courteous as traffic exists.

Heavily trafficked. Easy portage

I mean this is basically the BWCA's interstate. So many people through here! Worst part is coordinating landings and set downs.

These are flat, wide, and very heavily used. They feel more like a state park path than a wilderness trail.

Very short, level, easy portages with a small paddle in between
