This portage is tough, rocky, and has minimal terrain. I took it both directions and it's not an overly memorable portage either way.

Mud, rocks and a hill to climb over. Take your time, its not that long and at least the trees in the previous comment appear to have been cleared. 8/26/22 edit - still very muddy!

Nasty. Muddy, sharp stones, and several trees crossing the path. One tree was at the worst height if you're carrying a canoe (too high for most folks to step over).
