Sorry for the delay folks, just returned from the first trip of the season.

Little Trout is now the closest guess so far.

Was supposed to be Mag down the Tim to Shippagew, back up through the Pet etc. but I've shifted gears due to the road conditions. 

Now heading in at Kiosk and doing a slow and easy loop through Club/Maple etc with a few side journeys.

LOTR is Ice Free, AO Opeongo was able to safely dock at Happy Isle and return today. 

I'd expect to see the park declare ice out Tuesday/Wednesday, or maybe they just leave everything as May 2.  

Chris @ Basecamp has also reported that Rain Lake road is pretty bad, including a large sinkhole right after the park boundary that will probably get worse. 

I've adjusted plans to a different access for guaranteed road passibility.  Good luck to all of ya who might be waiting on a road clearance announcement.

All sign are pointing to May 2 being a go, but I might have to change my plans based on the road to Mag

The short answer is no, the creek is not passable.  There is a very flat and easy portage around the creek, but it's long.  Once you get into the Madawaska river, minimal issues.  

My advice?  Launch from Rock lake or Galeairy lake and avoid the 5km's of portaging around Cauliflower creek.

Great updates Drew, I think the weather will pull through for May.
