Woodland Caribou Portage 20353

Not nearly as long as Paddle Planner has it, more like 150 meters and cleared out recently by WCPP staff. Lots of trees ready to come down in here, I still had to clear a few big trees across the trail on our trip.

When paddling north I could not find this portage. I think it was on the east side, but I also looked on the west side. I even went into the bush to look for old blazes, cut trees, flagging tape etc. The 2021 fire burned through here, so many dead standing and burnt fallen trees. I think the distance is closer the 150 m as on the WCPP Chrismar map vs. the 655 m distance on this website. There was low water when I was paddling, so I just got out and portage up the creek which was a rock garden, and re-loaded the canoe on the east side. The good news is that the Park was planning on a portage clearing trip through this area late in August, so it should be good now. Check with them if planning a future trip through this creek.
