BWCA Portage 292 (Nina Moose to Lamb)

I measured 310 rods, and you can feel the difference. Don't underestimate. The Lamb side has a steep climb; though much of the rest is flat, it's brushy with deceptive footing and multiple downed trees - this whole "Ramshead route" doesn't seem to get much traffic. The Lamb landing isn't obvious from a distance but is as-marked. It's a nice little lake, very deciduous. The Nina Moose landing is pretty mucky and can be challenging.

just a horrible portage, hard to spot, hard to follow, overgrown lots of rocks.......dont waste your time.

We visited this portage to see what it was like and it was quite the mistake. Despite two new boardwalks and no downed trees it is the biting insect capital of the north woods. The trail is badly overgrown and hard to follow if you're carrying a canoe. It is mostly level with one climb halfway and a descent down to Lamb Lake. Watch out for the many rocky sections that are hard to see under the brush. We suspect that it sees maybe one group per month, since there's really no reason to go to Lamb and Ramshead. Both landings are overgrown and hard to spot. The east one on Nina Moose is in a shallow bay choked with weeds on the south shore of the lake. Look for the large boulders here. It's easy enough to unload. The west landing on Lamb is very rocky and looks trickier. Lamb seems like a nice lake and it's a shame that there's no campsite there.
