dewman	02/02/2024 10:38AM Thanks for all the advice.! have a fun safe trip .
RMinMN	01/29/2024 06:07PM I've been down the river from Kawasachong to Polly. Take the other's advice and do the portages. They are faster and easier than down the river.
Northwoodsman	01/29/2024 05:58PM As boonie stated, it's not navigable by canoe. The portages are very easy, darn near flat.
boonie	01/29/2024 04:44PM Yes, you need to portage from Kawasachong to Polly. The two portages are almost a mile long total. If you double portage, you'll walk a little over 2.5 miles. The portages both have some elevation gain but are not overly difficult otherwise. They are however separated by only a 3-minute paddle.
dewman	01/29/2024 11:27AM Anybody put in on Kawishiwi lake to Malberg? What are the portages like? looks like there is a river from Baskatong to Lake Polly is this accessible or do i need to portage from Kawasachong to polly? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
