Nice portage. Easy to find, easy to navigate. Fun little narrow to get into Knife. Water was high so we could canoe through but watch for rocks. Great spot to catch really nice sized bass on the Knife side for dinner.

Climbs slightly most of the way coming out of Ottertrack, before dropping back down to Knife.

Nothing bad, easy carry through. Pretty area too.

Slightly uphill on each end. Short so nothing to worry about here.

The other portage between Knife-Ottertrack is a much easier portage although a longer paddle
