Portaging Direction: From Koma Lake to Malberg Lake

This is a short and flat portage in place to get by the delightful set of rapids between Koma Lake and Malberg Lake. This little stretch of river between these two lakes is another section of the Kawishiwi River. The landings on both ends of this portage are solid.

Looking upstream from near the bottom of the rapids. It is often worth wetting a line here.

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

Portaging Direction: From Malberg Lake to Koma Lake

A look out over Malberg Lake at the start of the portage to Koma Lake. The Kawishiwi River flows into Malberg Lake quite strongly, just to your left. Good fishing hole.

Portaging from Malberg Lake to Koma Lake. The portage is an easy 24 rods, with nice scenery to take your mind off your load. You can hear the Kawishiwi River to your right as it flows over some fairly impressive rapids.

View of Kawishiwi River above the rapids, with the entrance to Koma Lake in the far distance. There are good portage landings on both ends of this carry.

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