The center bog is not too bad - the corduroy work is pretty good. However there are still about four or five gaps that require sidestepping or bravery. One of our crew stepped off the corduroy & sunk one whole leg in while carrying our heaviest pack...he was in up to the family jewels. The rest of the portage is nothing too special - just the length to deal with.

The western path of the southern fork is the "encouraged" route maintained by the rangers. We took the eastern fork and it was far more rugged and ungroomed. I believe the park is working toward closing the eastern fork overtime through disuse. The bog section has been greatly improved since the last time I went through. Perpendicular logs tightly laid create a nice path for getting through this part. I expect they will last 8 yrs.
