This is a hike, then a significant beaver swamp paddle, then another hike. Once you reach the swamp, follow its natural course to the west. I ran through one small beaver dam in here, and then picked up the portage again to the right of larger, louder rapids with a large deadfall across the swamp. The landing for this portion is next to several large boulders just past a sheer rock face. Very tricky exiting and unloading on those boulders. From this point, it’s longer hike than the first portion, and it’s very beautiful, with the rapids raging far below. It was also a tricky landing on the Boze end with deep water and two trees restricting water access for the canoe.
