Easy with decent landings. Take all the marked portages for sure. We tried lining this one on the way back up river just for fun and ended up running into an impasse, a fast section with a drop. Thankfully some other paddlers made the same mistake and forged a portage around it. It's pretty close to the end of the portage when heading upriver so if you get stuck like us, look for a trail; it even has a pretty decent landing to unload and portage the 10 rods upriver.

Take all the marked portages. There are some unmarked that you can paddle through... but get out for the marked ones. we paddled through this 1 time. 1 canoe did not make it...

The portage location has now been corrected. As stated by others, the portage is on the eastern side of the river. The boardwalk is very nice.

The portage is on the opposite side of the river with a luxurious board walk.

Once again, concur with previous statements. The boardwalk was cool though. Further upstream toward Horse there are two sets of rapids, one of which we had to wet shoe and the second one, right at the entrance to the eastern bay on Horse, we needed to portage, on north side (although really easy), since we were going upstream. Pretty easy however.

This portage is on the opposite side of the river than the maps indicate. it is also a bit longer than the maps state.

The water levels were low when we traveled the Horse River which added several more portages that are not marked on the map. Low light with snow showers made the rocks very slippery and hard to see the one's hiding an inch under the water.

Found this portage on the eastern bank of the river, not on the western bank. The boardwalk across a marshy area that can be slippery when wet. Look at the aerial view - the boardwalk is visible. We were able to paddle through all rapids upstream of this portage.
