Freeleo1	07/13/2022 08:52PM That field of pointy little rocks right before Fourtown from Mudro always makes me laugh. It's an are you kidding me moment. Also, I'm not sure if we haven't found the correct end of the portage at Fourtown, but it always seems like we are dropping the canoe off the side of a cliff. The hill going through Tin Can Mike is no joke, but it's just a hill. You can take your time on it. And going into Horse is nice if you can camp there.
cyclones30	07/01/2022 12:35PM That middle longer portage is scenic but slick if wet. Those shorter portages on each end though I think are the killers. Just a ton of ankle breaker rocks at the landings. I agree, if you're somehow debating equally one way or the other....go Horse-Fourtown.
walleyejunky	07/01/2022 12:21PM I would recommend any way other than the Mudro to Fourtown....those portages are 3 of the toughest in a row in the whole BWCA. Rocky and hilly. Even billy goats would avoid them!!!! LOL
cyclones30	06/30/2022 12:14PM No you can't get from TCM to Fourtown directly. Either via Mudro or Horse
Jakthund	06/29/2022 06:04PM There is no summer route directly from Tin Can Mike to Fourtown. There is a winter route marked on maps. I believe Fourtown is at a higher elevation than Tin Can Mike, so if a creek existed it would flow the other way You need to go through Horse if you go that way.
Lawnchair107	06/29/2022 03:20PM Is Mudro to Fourtown out of question?
paramedicscan	06/29/2022 03:08PM Hi Guys, It looks like there are two ways into Fourtown. One going north into Horse and portaging over to Fourtown. It looks like however there might be a creek running out of Tin Can into Fourtown. Is that correct? Can you get to Fourtown directly from Tin Can or do you need to go through Horse?
