Point of Interest Name: Beaver Pond on portage
Category: Other
Lake: Chad Lake
Entry Point: 1 - Trout Lake
Date of Visit: 09/24/2021
Approx. Latitude: 47.9692
Approx. Longitude: -92.2359

Place Notes: The beaver pond that is now probably an acre in size, easily a paddle length deep in the middle. I could not determine a way easily around through the woods to the north (south would be a long trek) so I reloaded my canoe to paddle across. The yellow dash in my photo is approx route. Very shallow this side- scraping across rocky/mucky bottom, and deep on other side by Chad alongside the dam.

Comment: The pond is deeper now and one of the most impressive beaver dams I've seen in the BWCA. Portage continues on the opposite shore. Up and right in the photo.
