Description
The Portage starts immediately after a large rapid (that some may also portage). A large still pool and huge river left cliffs announce its arrival and a well trodden trail commences on the right at the top end of the pool, traversing up through the forest.  Resist the temptation to descend too early as the trail becomes less defined, and finally scramble down granite ledges to a perch over looking the last drop of the portage. The Portage rapid has been run at low water but is a very serious proposition.
