What was the water levels like?, Could You paddle over the first portage?

Leaving in a week, just looking for a little up to date info on the water levels. I've been in this area many times and have a good handle on the fishing and camps in this area. Hoping for really high water levels but you never know.

Water levels are high. You can paddle over the first portage.

And the second beaver dam a well...

But that third beaver dam has a significant drop so we had to pull out and hop down to the lower area to put the canoes back in.

Jeepgirl and I just got back from there on Sunday.

Black flies are out with a vengeance. Bring your headnets. I also had a few ticks when we stopped on Malberg our first day in. Jeepgirl had one that day as well.
