Right side as you approached the falls from Sag, so the American portage. Where was the Canadian portage? Was it better for some reason? I know the Horsetail Rapids portage was Canadian for sure.

I just got a new Forester. Lots of room for gear in those. Good gas mileage too.

Grandpa's is basically a rebuilt '07, handled great on the road and got 25 mpg with a fully loaded trunk and topper.

Last year I almost ran out of gas with my RAV4 taking the back roads between Two Harbors and Sawbill Lake and back. With my 2015 Forester I traveled over 400 miles before I gassed up in Tofte. I traveled back to the Twin Cities with almost a half tank of gas left. I’m only on my third tank but have been getting about 31mpg. No topper though.

You could easily spend a whole trip just on Saganaga, so much variety and beauty, and good fishing if you know where to go.
