Portaging Direction: From Howl Lake to Hubbub Lake
Fine canoe landing. Water is shallow and the substrate is gravel and mud. Howl Lake water levels probably fluctuate substantially, so the landing conditions could change over time.
This portage twists and turns through the forest for 125 rods. The portage gains about 50 feet in the first 100 rods and then drops about 15 feet in the last 25 rods down to Hubbub Lake. Howl Lake's elevation is 16 feet below Hubbub Lake. The portage is fairly challenging.

Gravel and sand make up this shallow water portage landing.
The portage climbs a small hill for the first 25 rods. After leveling out, the portage descends slowly as it winds through the forest for the remaining 100 rods until reaching Howl Lake.
An emerging fungal plant species rises from a bed of young ferns.
The vestiges of Howl Lake lies before you. The portage from Howl Lake to Tuscarora Lake is directly across this short stretch of water. The portage landing on this side is very easy to manage. Until around 2006 there used to be a boardwalk across Howl Lake. It fell into disrepair and wasn't replaced.
