Portaging Direction: From Karl Lake to Long Island Lake

There are some boulders here along the waterline, but the lake bottom is hard sand which makes this landing a simple matter.

This portage is about as undemanding as you're likely to come across. Relatively flat with nice put in spots at both ends. A well worn path.

This portage landing is a beach.

A good look at the large northwest bay of Long Island Lake. There is a campsite just to the right of your view, down the shoreline. The island in the middle of the bay is dead center in the distance.

Portaging Direction: From Long Island Lake to Karl Lake

BWCA portage landings don't get much wimpier than this one.

Enjoy a short stroll through the woods with a canoe over your head.

The landing at the Karl Lake end isn't as perfect as the Long Island Lake side, but it is a fantastic put in spot nonetheless.
