Report

Started at 7:43 AM on a mild rainy morning. The route began with some very runnable rail bed for the first 8km and then transitioned into technical single track for the rest. The section of trail between Rainbow Lake, and the intersection with the portage from West Otterpaw Lake and Furrow Lake is technically no longer part of the backpacking trail nor is it maintained. This resulted in 8km of trail from 15km-23km being quite overgrown and flooded at some parts making it difficult to stay on trail.
