It isn't the topography that gets you here, it is just long. We took our time single portaging and didn't encounter a lot of difficulty aside from a half doze or so deadfalls toward the Big Moose end. A couple of those required working together to get the canoe through the limbs, but they didn't hold us back from long. Considering the length, I was prepared for it to be even more overgrown, but the trail was easy to follow once we spotted the boulder landing on Big Moose.

The landing doesn't stick out like a sore thumb but is still easy enough to find. Landing is quite rocky on the Big Moose end. Trail climbs gradually for quite a distance out of Big Moose. There are several short ups & downs along the way but nothing too serious. Also a few spots of exposed granite knobs, some with rock cairns guiding the way. There is a long boardwalk near the middle that potentially could be under water during wet periods. The latter half is mostly a carbon copy of the first. For the most part it is an excellent well worn trail with very, very few troublesome roots or rocks. It was not overgrown at all. It's mostly just a matter of overcoming the 2 mile distance.
