The Boulder River landing is indeed a muck pit, but it can be circumvented: just walk north along the more stable second shoreline until you reach rocks, which offer an easy put-in. Even at low water we were able to float through all the way to Boulder Bay. The Boulder River is a unique paddle for the area, so I recommend it over the two shorter portages.

Concur with motley. My son went to step into the water to get in the canoe and sank thigh deep in muck. The south landing approaching from the water look for the large white rock. Landing is the the right. This is not well traveled and the path is almost overgrown. Decided to return to Agnes via the two portages to the west instead of doing this again.

Lowland portage with some big cedar trees at the south side. The north landing is a muck pit, make sure you're stepping on something solid or you'll have mud up to your knees.
