Hey John,
Parking at Kearney isn't so bad. Directly across HWY 60 from the west driveway into Kearney is a summer bicycle trail going through Pog. It takes you directly to the dam across the Madawaska (you said you weren't comfortable taking the Pog portage directly to whitefish). You just need to cross the HWY to the bicycle trail. No need to walk along 60. Be aware, walking the rail trail all the way to Rock can be a very long long slog if the snow is deep.
Cars parked across 60 at the Kearney driveway. My toboggan is on the bike path.
I see it now. It looks like you take the portage for a bit and then cut back north to the campground at a key moment.
How often have you skied the rail trail? I've biked on it like 25 times, so am very excited to see it in the winter.
Where did you camp in that picture? Looks like the north end of Whitefish to me.
