Portaging Direction: From Round Lake to West Round Lake
Start of portage from Round Lake to West Round Lake. Shore is fine gravel, with a few boulders to weave through.
This is the large wetland visible from the portage trail.
Another view near sunset of the extensive wetlands between these two lakes.
Portage from Round Lake to West Round Lake. The distance is 77 rods and skirts a wetland for part of the way. The trail near the wetland can be squishy in spots (June 2020).
Earlier footage of the same portage as above (October 2015).
The wind exposed West Round Lake. The recent forest fire makes it rather barren. Hug the tree covered shoreline on the left for direct route to the Edith Lake portage.

Portaging Direction: From West Round Lake to Round Lake
Looking at the start of the portage that leads from West Round Lake to Round Lake. As you can see its a relatively decent place for a landing. A few rocks is all the bother.
This is a large wetland you will pass by along the portage trail.
Portage from West Round Lake to Round Lake. The distance is 77 rods and skirts a wetland for part of the way. Ground can get soft when the trail parallels the wetland (June 2020).
Previous recorded footage of the same portage (October 2015).
You have reached the end of the portage and are looking out at a small bay in the southwest corner of Round Lake. You are looking in a southeasterly direction here. The entry point on Round Lake is around the point to the left and up the northwest shoreline (October 2015). If you head off to your right, you will soon arrive at the Missing Link Lake portage.
This is nearly the same view as the one shown above, but about five years later. Notice how the reforestation on the hill across the water has dramatically changed it (June 2020).
