Tricky landing on this one and then it's a climb up and over and back down.

Non-descipt portage - pretty straight forward.

Not a bad portage, in-fact almost forgettable. Ham Lake landing is a bit hidden when coming from Ham. 1/5

Easy walking with occasional small rocks and roots. The west take out is awkward because of many large rocks. East put in spot has a nice flat rock landing.

Traveled, but I thought it could use a little TLC. Very nice landing on the Ham side
