Could not find this portage when approaching from the south. There is a nice portage on the Canadian side with good landings on both ends through a pine grove with little understory up and down a big hill. I disagree with the other review claiming the north (Canadian) side is bad.

Voyageur Maps incorrectly puts this portage on the north side. It is on the south side. Do not make this mistake! There's something that looks like a landing on the north side, but it leads to a bad bushwhaky time.
