This one has a rocky start on the east end, then the trail ends at a flooded beaver pond. The pond continues for a ways to your left, but you need to bear right against the steep bank for about 5 paddle strokes to the top of a giant 8 foot tall beaver dam. Then unload and make your way around/over the dam to continue the somewhat muddy portage on the other side. The key on this one is keeping your bearings through the swampy area.

A welcome relief after doing the other portage into Louse. Thought it was actually rather scenic as it traces the river bank for a stretch of the trail.
