As mentioned the biggest challenge with this portage is the coming and going traffic between Disappointment and Ahsub. Both times through on our trip this year there was some timing involved to coordinate with other groups. The portage itself is very straight-forward without complications.

Quick little portage. Was a little crowded with traffic when we visited.

After a quick lunch at the campsite, we carried through here. No problem.

The Disappointment Lake landing is rocky! Careful when landing as options can be tricky. High traffic on this portage daily. Rocky and narrow path.

Short, decent landings on both sides. Slight up and down
