Route Description
The lake travel is scenic with 1 mandatory portage around a dam and a set of falls. There may be a few beaver dams and log jams along the last 1/2 of the route, otherwise the route is fairly easy. In the fall, high bush cranberries line the shore in swampy areas. The forest on either side is mixed with black ash trees along the shore.
