The Portage between Brule Lake and Lily Lake

Portaging Direction: From Brule Lake to Lily Lake

A firm landing on the Brule Lake side of this portage. There is a short uphill slope at the start.

This is a heavily used portage. Other than the brief climb at the beginning, the rest of the trail is mostly level. The remains of a dock (or possibly some other sort of heavy wooden structure) in the shallows at each end of the portage.

Landing at Lily Lake has some large boulders, but water is not at all deep and the lake bottom is solid.

Portaging Direction: From Lily Lake to Brule Lake

A look at the landing on the Lily Lake end of the portage. Those logs you see in the water are the remains of a past structure dating back to at least the 1960's.

A mostly flat portage trail. The path drops the last few feet as you approach Brule Lake.

The landing is better at this end. Looking south at a small bay. This is the bay just west of North Bay on the map.
