Our goal, Johnson Falls

Tough Trail

Some of the trail was a bit tough.

Hike to the falls

End of the Portage

Now the trail to Johnson Falls

Split Rails

Parts of the trail were over swamp land. Great to have the split logs as a pathway to walk on.

On the trail

Long Trails

Left our canoe and kayaks at the head of portage. We hiked the 200+ rod portage. Thank goodness we didn't carry all our things.

Our Route

Traveled from E. Bearskin lake to Alder lake then Canoe lake and finally the portage over to Johnson Falls.

Were Spread Out

We didn't really stay together.

Head Wind Both Ways

Seemed like we had a head wind both ways.

Day starting off Overcast

The start of our trip should have told me what the day would be like.

The Kayaks on the trip

My son and daughter were in kayaks. Myself and my youngest daughter were in the canoe.
