Portaging Direction: From Fern Lake to French Lake

This shady indent in the shoreline is the landing spot for the French Lake portage from Fern Lake. No issues with the footing or other underwater obstacles. The portage is really easy too. Life is good.

This portage is nothing more than a walk through the woods.

This landing has some boulders in the water that you will have to strategically place your canoe between.

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

Portaging Direction: From French Lake to Fern Lake

You have to dodge a few underwater rocks to park your canoe here. Expect a few new scratches on the hull.

Easy as you please portage.

Shady little inlet on the north end of Fern Lake. Good footing in the water. Lots of mosquitos here too.
