Portaging Direction: From Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River

Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River 1
This portage landing is as nice as you'll find. If the water is lower, the water is too shallow for even a lightly loaded canoes draft, so you will have to walk your boat into shore.



Easy portage. Simple as that.


Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River 6
The landing on this end is also very good. From here, you would head to the left (which is downstream).


Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River 2
The landing on this end is also very good. From here, you would head to the left (which is downstream).

Easy gravel bar landing spot.



Climbs a small hill gaining minimal elevation.


Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River 5
Head of the rapids where the Kawishiwi River flows out of Confusion Lake.


Confusion Lake to the Kawishiwi River 4
Some large boulders and knee deep water. Hug the right shore as you leave the portage, especially during high water when the current is strong, as the rapids start just out of sight to your left.

Now that you've made it over the portage, visit: CONFUSION LAKE
