This is a beautiful walk in the woods and I've been through here in all types of conditions, usually with my young children. It's not overly difficult and it seems there is always plenty of wildlife to observe. The landing can be muddy but is fairly easy to load and start your trip.

This is a reasonably easy portage. We entered in the winter with sleds and got across fine, though the trail was already broken. There was already a pair of swans sitting on wood lake waiting for winter.

Voyageur map 4 has this as 180 rods, but 220 seems correct. 100ft of climb from the water, but it was not too bad. Trail was wide and well established.

While it is on the longer side for a entry portage, it was mostly flat and wide.

This is an easy walk in the woods with "some" elevation. In is easier that out but I would give the path a beginner rank. Watch for some spots with roots and rocks. there are also a couple of spots that can be "wet." The second "bridge" is about 2/3 of the the way in just to give you an idea of how far you have to go. ;-)

About what you'd expect for an entry point trail of this length. The only caveat being, that if you exit out this trail, there will be a big climb just after the boardwalk up to the parking lot.
