Traveled from there to island camp on Adventure Lake in one day (solotripper, triple portaging), the only nice camp I found on that Lake. Very nice! Enjoy! |

uphill workout. Either route is a wonderful way to experience the area. The sharp trail that I was referring to on Adventure Creek is the last portage before reaching Donald...beautiful trail, along a falls, with high rock walls....last year the lower sections of Adventure before reaching Donald had a few beaver dams to appreciate. |

Oldzip - you talk about a new/improved portage around the falls above Donald Lake. Are you referring to the 200m portage into "C" Lake instead of the 40m as depicted on the Chrismar map? Is the 200m portage the safer/easier way? Cheers, Ian |

oldzip: "we reached Black Otter Lake/ Creek, then went up over the hill into Sea Horse and eventually to the Haggart River" Where are Sea Horse and Black Otter? Don't see them on my maps...hope to get into that area later this summer if the border opens. |

Black Otter is south of Donald Lake, before a 400m portage, elevation of 337 and home to campsite B9 on PP. Sea Horse is two lakes west of Black Otter after two 400m portages, elevation of 351 and home to campsites BE, BN and BR on PP. Both Black Otter and Sea Horse are north of Bulging. |

Does PP show campsite BR as being in the middle of the lake for you too? I'd struggle to give that more than 2 stars. :) |

This past fall we went from Hammerhead into Donald then up Adventure Creek until we reached Black Otter Lake/ Creek, then went up over the hill into Sea Horse and eventually to the Haggart River....the creek slices through some narrow rock walls here. From the west end of Black Otter to the Haggart the area went through a recent fire. The portages climb over a challenging hill and were blocked by blueberries which took several hours to pick through. A wonderful, fairly challenging, and quiet route is from Welkin up to Adventure...wonderful country, portages marked, some old growth jack pines, some burns....Welkin has good trout fishing and is fairly isolated. Enjoy the trip!!! |

Has anyone traveled/camped between Donald and Adventure Lake via Adventure Creek? Any gotchas or words of advice? Trouble finding portages or campsites? Cheers |
