Super easy portage. Only issue is the number of tow riders just milling about clogging the trail up while they quadruple portage their coolers.

Nothing to it. Flat and plenty of space. Quite busy. Absolutely worth it to get the tow up from any outfitter on Moose.

Super quick carry. Impressive amount of room for people to put their canoes on the side while others pass through. Not much room on the Birch side landing though, maybe 2 canoes tops.

Extremely short portage gets you straight into birch. Possible to walk your canoe over with some things still in it. No hazards or difficulty.
