Portage Notes: Like others mentioned - the path is under water - but just to the right of the EP sign is another path that is dry. Hiked in with my two dogs and it was a breeze!

Portage Notes: Like the others said. Currently, the part near the parking lot is under some water/flooded. Maybe 2 rods' worth. So it will start out wet in high water conditions.
