Portage Description:
This one is one of my favorites short and mucky. If you are not portaging through muck you aren't having any fun. I have heard so much about the Alice Lake portage but have never had the joy of experiencing it. I hope to someday. Always remember when portaging to always walk down the center of the trail. walking on the sides only makes them wider and muckier for the people after you.
