Description:
The two lakes are small-moderate in size and consist of many bays, islands and narrow channels.
The McCloud Lake portage heads off North of the road through a recently logged block. The trail is marked with orange ribbon and goes for approx 260m. The portage has a slight increase in elevation and has a bit of debris on it from logging. If you are in the area, help us maintain the trail by removing sticks and debris.
The Gordeau Lake portage head off South of the road near the bridge. This portage is relatively easy and short, about 80m.
NOTICE: 2023 update: The portage has grown-in, contains lots of blowdown and is now difficult to find. We will update here when we get around to clearing it out again.
