Maps make it look like some boggy and wet lowlands. Good luck! Make sure you post a trip report. :-)

I fished Nels some years ago and I do recall paddling down a creek towards Hegman but it didn't go very far. The creek narrowed and became unnavigable. I suppose you could get out and bushwack the rest of the way.

creek is definitely not paddleable - even in spring.

if there's a secret portage, I don't think anyone on this board knows about it - or they just didn't tell me when I asked myself a few years back.
