I'm having trouble uploading an image for some reason, so someone else can go ahead and post the next one!

I feel like we're running out of options now! Perhaps Lantern?

Cuckoo Lake?

Looks like it could be the campsite on the north end of Big Crow

Maple Creek, north end of 600/630?
Nope! I took this photo on the trip that started at access point 3 and ended at access point 1.

Peek is the closest one so far, the rest are too far south.
Perhaps I should have picked a photo with more distinguishing features. I just see how quickly some of you are at getting these and didn't want it to be too easy!

Not on the Amable du Fond.

Nope. This is not on this Nippissing river, but it's not too far away from it! It's an easy portage that gets pretty steady traffic.

St. Andrews at the portage to High Falls lake
Nope. Quite far away from there actually. But it is a portage landing that is within a days travel of an access point!

I've brought mine on a few trips. Need to be careful about getting it too wet. I find the sleep tracking to be quite helpful since otherwise it can be hard to accuratley guage how much sleep I'm getting.

I appreciate the recommendation about the MTO maps website, I'd totally forgotten it existed. Much better information on here than google maps. I've spent the last two hours making and printing off maps!
I'll be sure to come back here and post an update if I am successful in navigating this stretch.

I am planning a trip for the end of August and am considering doing a significant bushwack portage as part of the trip. My goal is to start the day in the Opeongo North arm, paddle hailstorm creek and then bushwack into Hailstorm L, CrossBill L and finish the day in Burnt Island L. Based on google maps it looks to me like most of Hailstorm L and Crossbill L will be paddalable. I anticipate the hardest parts will be the several hundred meters of marshy zone between the lakes and dry land. Beyond that it looks like there will be around 3km of total portaging over dry land, which will be very time consuming but looks straightforward.
I have done bushwhack portage routes like this a handful of times in the past and am familiar with the general unpredictability and challenges that I may encounter. I am mostly curious if anyone has any information specific to this route / area that they would be able to provide. Has anyone done a trip through here? Are there any old logging roads I can use to portage? Are my intuitions about water levels accurate?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
