BWCA Portage: Rifle Lake to Bridge Lake

Portaging from Rifle Lake

The ledge of rock marking the beginning of the portage out to Bridge Lake. This is a fairly tough portage. It often has deadfall across it and can be overgrown in places.

THE SHORTER FIRST PART OF THE PORTAGE VIDEO FROM RIFLE LAKE TO BRIDGE LAKE STILL NEEDS TO BE UPLOADED

This is the second part of the fairly long portage from Rifle Lake to Bridge Lake. In this part, you find the going a bit rougher than it was in the first portion back near Rifle Lake. As you travel along, the trail narrows and the brush and branches rub against you and the canoe more. A tree has fallen across the trail in one area and requires some fancy dancing to get the canoe around the obstruction.

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

Portage from Bridge Lake into: Lake Four. You can also paddle up Drumstick Creek. This creek flows out of the Drag Lake Primitive Management Area.
