Portaging Direction: From Mud Lake to Four Mile Portage

The portage is located along the north shore of the lake, about 1/4 west of the Ella Hall Lake portage. The landing on Mud Lake is rocky, but provides good footing in shallow water. Quite manageable.

Portage is a bit overgrown. Mud Lake seems to receive far fewer visitors than neighboring Ella Hall Lake.

The portage from Mud Lake intersects the Four Mile Portage here. The Four Mile Portage is also known as the Long Portgage (1,280 rods).

Portaging Direction: From Four Mile Portage to Mud Lake

The intersection of the Mud Lake portage with the Four Mile Portage. It is very easy to see this trail when passing this intersection, but there are no landmarks in the area. So if you miss it, you'll probably miss it by a lot.

The portage is somewhat rugged. The trail is overgrown in places and often has a fair amount of deadfall, depending on when it was last cleared by portage crews. The portage is otherwise mostly flat, with only small undulations.

The portage landing at Mud Lake. You are looking to the southwest here. Landing has small rocks, on a firm sandy bottom.
