The loss of the motorized portages really changed the four mile portage for good as I understand it. Dogsleds head through there every winter and there is definitely some traffic into Ella Hall and the connected lakes. Everything past Ella Hall is touch and go (or can be) with a lot of the old portage flooded by new beaver activity.
