Going west, the first part of the portage is more of the same thick brush. A bit of the way in though, we found ourselves at a beaver pond. I believe the portage went around the left side, though McKenzie said right. We got in and floated the canoe only to run into the beaver dam on the east side and be forced out where we found the portage on the left.

Approaching from Fee, you will come to a beaver dam. On the McKenzie maps, the portage is marked as starting on the south side of the dam, however, no through trail was found there. The portage comes off the north side of the dam and in 2017 was not walkable as an 80 rod portage. Rather it was approximately a 15 rod portage to a flooded area full of dead tamarack, a brief paddle through that area and a lift over into Vee. An easy but inconvenient little portage once you manage to find it.

Muddy portage. Very secluded wilderness feeling portage with lots of moose footprints.
