Ontario map views of this portage would seem to indicate that its doable...But though its on the FOW route maps--its questionable that it was ever located and cleared. From the Wabakimi Project Report: "We move canoes over beaver dam and paddle into lake to search for start of long 104c portage to Big Lk. Search east shore for portage but find nothing; except two cut logs and one flagged tree, 40-50m back from the lake shore, in a line that moves through a ravine east toward the previously logged area. A search is made for indications of the portage through the logged area, which has regrowth of pine, birch, and poplar east toward the main north-south road. No portage is found. The main road is located but it is not passable. Alders and small pine trees fill the right of way, which is very evident because of the graded edges and hard packed surface. We return to a point of land that will make a good campsite on the southeast shore of the small pond. After eating a late lunch, we depart for the return trip to base camp."
