Whats the longest portage?
Technically, it’s the Grand Portage — an eight-mile ordeal from the Pigeon River to the old fort at Grand Portage National Monument on the North Shore. It’s a glorious, arduous way to end a canoe trip. Other long portages are: the Rose Lake/Rove lake portages east of Gunflint Lake. The Angleworm Portage, two miles long near Ely, which is also a hiking trail. And the Stuart Portage, 1 and a half miles long, just off the Echo Trail north of Ely.
