A fun portage along the border, with the border markers at both ends. Nothing too challenging.

Very interesting portage. Large US/CA border markers along a clear cut. The portage weaves in and out of the clear cut. The trail was obstructed by more than a few downed trees which required some 'squat-walking' with the canoe. 2/5

There are some elevation changes & some troublesome rocks. But, for the most part, this is a pretty straight forward portage. Of note: this is one of only 3 portages that have the large international boundary markers.
