02/21/2015 11:10AM The long portage to Yeh Lake to Lonely Lake was improved by the Quetico Trail Crews a couple of years ago. It's not as narly as it once was, but it still ranks as one of the more unpleasant portages in Quetico. Hans Solo |

02/20/2015 08:14PM The Little Jean to Yeh portage is said to be short and level (maybe 10 rods) , but overgrown and a bit brushy. Yeh to Lonely is 1370m according to the Park map (272 rods). Starts out in a cedar swamp (muck hole with some corduroy to walk on) but nasty. Then, a lot of vertical changes (long uphill and then a steep downhill, complete with a 5' stepdown). People rate it nasty and difficult. |

01/07/2015 01:11PM Busy planning a trip to Quetico next summer but will have my nephews (11 and 13) and 75 year old Dad with me (he's tough and slogged into Kashalpiwi with me through McNiece last year which was hellishly over grown and took us 2.5 hrs to get through that portage with trees down and overgrown and out through Yum Yum). Thinking of heading as part of trip from Jean through till Lonely Lake and can not find description of portage from Little Jean Lake to Yeh Lake and Yey Lake to Lonely Lake. Can anyone fill me? Thanks Margaret Waechter |
