Portages are there for a reason. Enjoy them.

What cowdoc said. I remember somebody took a look at it and reported numerous down trees and other obstacles from the Pagami Fire.

This has been wondered about many times. Even before the fire those who explored it said it was not passable.


With enough work, you might be able to bushwhack through but the effort and time would far exceed just doing the portages.

The portages look long on a map but they aren't bad at all.

Can anyone confirm if you can reach lake Polly from ep37 through the kawishwi river? Wondering if we can skip the 2 portages between kawasachong, townline and Polly.
Thanks

If you think it is a time saver, or easier than taking the portages, then you would be wrong on both accounts. I'm sure it could be done(under the right water levels), but only as a mud slogging, brush busting, create your own portages adventure. Take the portages. They are not that bad.

+1 on this. Been through here a few times and the portages are pretty flat.
