The portage distance (one way) is at least 290 m, not 90. All of the campsites - and there are a number, not just the one indicated in the MNR's 'Dryden Area Canoe Routes' - are employed by Outfitters who leave detritus strewn around, ruining the wilderness experience. The pictographs are on the North shore of the lake, a short paddle from the portage, on a prominent knob of rock which is easy to see on the relevant topo.
