Is that the north or south portage below Bingshick....I assume the southern one? |

Thanks to both of you for the added details about the portage into Fay. When we got to Flying there was a group searching for the Flying to Fay portage unsuccessfully. We didn't have time to stop and help them as we were trying to get to Brant asap to grab our son's favorite site. But your description explains why they were having so much trouble. They did give up after we saw them. |

There is also an unmarked portage into Fay. After doing this^ portage, if you continue on west past the portage into Bingshick, the small creek will lead to an overgrown trail that will come out at Fay Lake. I'm guessing that's the creek you're referring to. As you can probably see in the video, the lower section of the trail does appear to have been washed out recently. My guess is that the large beaver dam up near the start of the portage (Flying end) had given away. I know from first hand experience that there were some awfully 'soft' (knee deep) spots just off the trail. |
