I don't think this portage is officially maintained anymore, so it has disappeared from many maps. However, the portage is there. It is just a bit more rugged than most BWCA portages. There are a couple spots where it might get tight with a canoe, but it is certainly doable.

Walked it from the Smite side. Certainly a challenge, but really not dissimilar to many remote Quetico portages.
