The Portage between Baskatong Lake and Square Lake

Portaging Direction: From Square Lake to Baskatong Lake

Sand bottom landing with ankle deep water. There is a metal post that acts as a cairn to mark the location of the start of this portage on Square Lake (just visible on far right of this view).

This is a flat and easy to follow portage. A couple of downed trees to step over. Landings on both ends are excellent.

Large portage landing on Baskatong Lake. Fine gravel bottom substrate and the water is of minimal depth.

Portaging Direction: From Baskatong Lake to Square Lake

Soft sand mixed with mud interlaced with some small rocks makes up the substrate of this portage landing. Water is shallow.

Flat portage through a burn zone. The landings on both ends of this portage are in fine shape. The Square Lake landing has a metal pole, which makes it a little easier to find this portage.

In between the tall grass and bushes, is this little inlet with a sand bottom. Great canoe landing.
