The Portage between Snowbank Lake and Disappointment Lake

Portaging Direction: From Snowbank Lake to Disappointment Lake

Snowbank Lake 1
The landing is rocky, but the water is so shallow that the boulders cause little trouble (October 3, 2021).



This portage is uphill in this direction. It's a mild incline, but steady along nearly the entire portage. You will gain 57 feet in elevation portaging from Snowbank Lake to Disappointment Lake. The portage trail is more exposed to sunlight than it was in the past due to recent windstorms. The path is very well worn and the footing is good. This portage intersects the Snowbank Lake Trail just before it reaches the shoreline of Disappointment Lake.


Snowbank Lake 2
The portage landing on Disappointment Lake. This is also the same location where the portage from Parent Lake to Disappointment Lake ends. (October 3, 2021).

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


Portaging Direction: From Disappointment Lake to Snowbank Lake

Snowbank Lake 3
The portage landing on Disappointment Lake. This is also the same location where the portage from Parent Lake to Disappointment Lake ends. Landing is sandy and the water is not at all deep. Watch for underwater rocks as you approach (October 3, 2021).



The portage is noticeably easier in this direct as it is almost all downhill. Trail is heavily used and easy to walk.


Snowbank Lake 4
Looking west at the small bay on Snowbank Lake where the 140 rod Disappointment Lake portage is located (October 3, 2021).

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