Did it in June. It can be done by and old man. Check your maps they show the portages. Going down stream at the portage on the Wawiag get out on the left 20 Ft before what looks like the get out.

Have not been through the Belaire to Wawiag portage. I did bushwhack from Belaire to the Wawiag at the park boundary. It was an easy bushwhack.

You’re looking for off the beaten path. Last year I did Kenny Creek. I found it a nice change of pace.
