This portage begins in a small bay on the north end of Karl Lake. As you can see, the landing is a good place to pull up in a canoe.

A short jaunt of 28 rods and you come out of the woods at the south end of Lower George Lake.

Head north up this narrow channel after polishing off this portage. Just to the right of your view the creek from Karl Lake flows into Lower George Lake. The portage landing here is very good.

Flat and short pretty much sums up this portage.

Sandy portage landing in the small bay at the north end of Karl Lake. The main lake is just to the right of that point, which is visible to the left side of your view.
