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?

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.

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.

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.
