Hi all, doing some initial planning for a modified hunters island loop trip through the Q in 2023. I am curious about the portage and river travel in this section. I have found some info but not a lot. I like a good challenge but just wondering with the combination of the fires last year and lack of recent travel in the area (Covid) what kind of adventure I may be getting. I appreciate any info. Thanks!

Look

I was through there 3 years ago. Can't help much with the fire damage, though I saw a map of portage maintenance that showed they were maintained this year. Might be worth a call to the park if no one else answers. They are always helpful. The "eat em up portage" was a bear but certainly doable. My wife and I had camped on the Maligne river and made it to Dark water in one day, though we were definitely ready to stop by the time we made it to the lake.

Thank you for the information. I will definitely call ahead on that. I appreciate you taking the time to comment!
