Are the creeks in between Clear water and Lake 3 navigable?

Bob.

Nope. And an old unmaintained portage is actually between Clearwater Lake (through Rock Island) and Lake Two.

Ok ... so to Lake 2 it would be a complete bushwack but doable or almost impossible? With the fire damage could the portage even be found?

Bob.

I saw a post or a link on this site that showed some pictures of the fire damage to that old portage; so someone found it after the burn. If the water is high enough, the creek between Rock Island Lake and Lake Two can be paddled.

Yup, I think Inspector 13 is right on with his information.
Did those portages some years b/4 the burn and it was not fun then. The portage from Lk 2 to Rock Island was on the east side of the flowage (30 or 120 rods depending on your source) water levels permitting. Then from Rock Island to Clearwater there are 2 more portages, a shorter 50-80 through the swamp and a long 240+rods. They are both probably over grown since the re-growth from the fire. The 1 site on Rock Island used to be great - now it is closed after the fire. They look good on my OLD 2000 series McKenzie map but times have changed. Could be pretty rough going.

Inspector 13 and Grandma L, Thanks for the info, I appreciate it a lot.

Bob.
