    For some reason when I seen this photo the portage from Whiskey Jack to Robinson instantly came to mind?

    Neither Robinson, Pinetree, nor Hilliard...

    ...Hilliard is closest.

    Hint: Given its name, you would expect its waters to flow in a certain way, and yet they don't.

    Not Whatnot, Westward, Louisa.

    My hint was not so great, I guess...so a bit more explicit: It's not the source of the river with the same name! It's not even in the same watershed!

    I might be wrong about that, but I checked a few maps and was surprised.

    Not Madawaska. You’re on the right track, though.

    Yep. It is Bonnechere Lake as you approach from Big Porcupine.
    Bonnechere Lake is not the source of the Bonnechere River. I found that surprising. I think this lake is in the Madawaska River watershed. Someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

    Shawn D....yer up!
