I loved this route the time we did it. It's very wild. We went from Ted toward Gardner Bay. As others have said, a couple of the portage are hard to find, particularly the ones between Newt and Little Newt, and between LIttle Newt and Gardner Bay. If we had been going the other way, we might never have gotten started on the route, because I think it would be hard to find the first portage coming out of Gardner Bay. The trick is to just keep pushing up the "stream" through the sandy reedy marshy shallows until you would literally hit the trees. Then look for the portage. Newt to Milt and Milt and Ted are pretty significant uphills for the length of the portages going from Gardner Bay to Ted, too. For a more detailed description, see the entry from one of my trip reports at this link. |

There are portages all along the way but the Newt portages are pretty grown over. It's all doable. PM me if you want specific details on fishing and campsites. I can't publish the rest. Tom |

The other times I'd say they were very easy. T |
