I rarely have good things to say about a portage. The portage from Beartrack Lake to Thumb Lake was absolutely amazing. There is a little flowing creek that you walk next to the whole time, very little elevation changes, not super thick forests, huge beautiful boulders along the path, simply amazing.

We made it to Finger Lake early in the day and took the campsite that faces East on the Western Island. The campsite is on a huge rock island elevated over the whole lake. Amazing spot, but not great tent pads. In my opinion the spectacular view was worth not being able to stake down the tents very effectively. We had the entire lake to ourselves. Finger lake was my favorite lake of the trip.

We did lots of fishing but only had success catching pike. We ate pike that day, probably had 3-4 pike between the 4 of us. That was a well-needed feast. My dog was particularly grumpy at this point in the trip.
