Heading into EP 14 on the 11th. Anyone have any info on bug, bear, or info on the unmarked portage between Slim and Fat?

I walked the portage in late May and it was easy to find and follow with one bad turn on my part. Choose right when unsure. There were a couple downed poplars at the start that may have been removed by now. They formed an X across the path and will be a problem. Another tree downed midway that will be a Bushwack around.

We are going into EP14 this week. If we camp on Loon Lake (targeting East Bay) are we likely to see much motorboat traffic? I see it's allowed in the area, but seems hard to get to.

Paddled through there couple times, camped on Loon once and Little Loon once.....only saw one boat out on Loon.

Not many boats head up that way, maybe half a dozen. If you want to be near the big water but want to avoid the boats, just head to little Loon. The northern site isn't bad and it's a fairly short paddle down to east Loon bay, maybe 10/15 minutes.

I stayed a couple nights on little loon. It's a no motor lake but several came through anyway.
