Longish walk, but nothing too challenging. Good landings on both sides. Only feature of note is that there is a submerged beaver dam in the steam as it flows north into Koma. I crossed it going in both directions without challenge. I built up some speed going upstream and then had to kind of wiggle my way over.

Decent landings on both ends with sufficient areas for staging. There is a rolling aspect to the trail but, generally it's a flat well worn trail that doesn't pose much of a problem beyond the length. Keep an eye out for the massive white pine about mid trail on the river side.

We were moving quickly on our way out this day. This whole stretch is well-travelled so trails aren't hard to navigate and landings are easy to spot. We made quick work of this one.

Another well traveled and wide portage. No issues along this route.

We saw 3 wolves on this portage! Decent trail.

The only real challenge to this portage is when you are headed north - it comes immediately after the two previous portages, so you may be a little winded by the time you get here. That said, there isn't a lot to worry about on this portage.

This is a nice flat well used trail. When the water is low the access on the Koma side is rocky.
