Simple portage. Really not much to comment on. Path is still well-worn, no areas are impassable or really very difficult. Just thought I'd leave a comment to confirm it was still this simple.

Rock landing on the W.Bearskin side. Much better landing on the Duncan side. Easy trail, as it is very well used.

This is a pretty standard up and over portage. The Duncan landing was a bit rocky and we encountered multiple groups. Although it is always good to quickly move off a portage and keep it clear rather than lingering at the landings, that is particularly true at this busy spot.

Your basic up and over along a good trail. Rocky landings on both ends.

Easy portage with lots of beautiful trees.

Short, easy portage that I have only hiked over in the winter. Pulled an ice house and fishing gear easily.
