Portaging Direction: From Snowbank Lake to Parent Lake
Good landing made up of gravel and small rocks. Water is shallow and clear. Portage heads up a short hill at the beginning (October 3, 2021).
Portaging from Snowbank Lake to Parent Lake. Find this portage on Snowbank Lake, right in Wilderness Bay next to the aptly named Wilderness Bay Lodge. First part of portage is mildly uphill. Entire route has good footing. The area was heavily affected by recent windstorms, so portage path has relatively light tree cover. The portage is 80 rods long (October 3, 2021).

Crystal clear Parent Lake welcomes you at the portages end. Lots of room at the landing. Water out in front of this end of the portage is shallow for a good distance out into the lake (July 25, 2015).

Portaging Direction: From Parent Lake to Snowbank Lake
Somewhat rocky landing, but there is a gap between the rocks that makes for a nice landing spot. The portage loses 21 feet of elevation from Parent Lake to Snowbank Lake (October 3, 2021).
Slightly downhill overall. The portage is exposed to sunlight for much of its length because recent windstorms have knocked down a lot of trees in the area.
Don't forget to notice the little things along these portages (October 3, 2021).
Snowbank Lake rarely looks this placid. The portage ends in Wilderness Bay, across from Wilderness Bay Lodge. From here, you paddle to the left if you are heading to the entry point landing (October 3, 2021).
