Doing a loop next week entering in at Fall, exit at Farm. I would like to park at Farm and paddle to Fall through Garden Lake and past Kawishiwi falls. Is there a portage and any issues going around the power station? Would save me a shuttle for 4 miles of paddling.

Thanks,
John

Yes, there is a portage around the falls. You should have no problems.

And unlike portages in the BW, it even has signs on it!

Yes I have, but thanks for the review. They never get old right? The dam is just upstream as I recall. I thought I had seen signs for the portages, but since my maps didn't have anything marked and my memory is a little fuzzy, I figured this fine group would guide me the right way!

Thanks,
