BWCA Entry Point 45 to Morgan Lake 1
Start of the long portage.



This is a fairly long portage of just over one mile in length. There are a few modest hills to lug your gear over. An easy creek crossing. Several relatively small mud pits. View of a pond along the way. It's mostly the distance that makes this portage a bit of a workout.

There is a nice overlook of this pond along this portage. Good place to take a breather. You will cross a small creek that flows out of this pond not long after passing this location.

Buttery smooth landing on Morgan Lake.



This is a long one. A few small climbs and decents. There is one creek crossing, but should be minor obstacle unless there has been a ton of rain. Maybe three or four squishy spots to sink into along the trail. The bigger squishy spots have boardwalks over them.
