FYI to those planning to go to Whitefish for some trout fishing. Dick Moore went up to the portage with a friend yesterday to go across for some laker action and found the back wheels of the cart off the track and jammed stuck on the Sabaskong side of the portage.

I have never been up to the portage, but have been told numerous times that this problem is the result of people letting their boats freespool down the track to the end of the line.

The MNR has very little interest in working on this thing because they receive little to no funding to do it so users need to be very careful that you use it properly so that it doesn't become inoperable for others.

This was the story as of Wednesday, May 12 in the morning.

I will post an update when I can, but may not be the first to hear if/when it gets placed back in working condition.

If anyone has any updates, I'm sure they would be much appreciated.
