Portaging Direction: From Ella Hall Lake to Mud Lake

The portage is located in the west end of Ella Hall Lake, at the south end of a bay. The portage landing at this end is made up of firm ground and easy to use. This 85 rod portage has little elevation change along its entire length.

This is a flat, but fairly brushy portage. Some fallen trees across the portage that haven't been cleared yet. The portage is not heavily used. Mud Lake does not seem to get a lot of visitors. There are few campsites on Mud Lake.

A view to the right from the portage landing. You can see the bottom through the clear water, definitely not "mud".

Portaging Direction: From Mud Lake to Ella Hall Lake

A pleasant sandy beach greets you on the Mud Lake end of the portage.

Expect this portage to have a lot of vegetation encroaching on the trail. There is likely to be some deadfall to walk around or step over too.

The portage landing at Ella Hall Lake is a piece of cake.
