How is this portage? Is this an easy or hard portage? Bringing in one newbie. Thoughts?

It's fairly long but quite easy. The first part from the parking lot is a gravel path. Closer to the lake it's rockier and narrower.

Piece a cake, no worries.

Long but a superhighway. A bit rooty and rocky as you get closer to the lake. The end of the portage is large and sandy.

My recollection of this portage is that it is a trudge with a canoe or heavy backpack. Many rocks and roots so you need to be careful of foot placement or you can sprain an ankle.
