The red arrow indicates our portage route from the end of the gravel road at Murphy Ponds to the tadpole-shaped drop of water created by Rainbow Stream. The portage would be necessary if the water level is too low to paddle from Murphy Ponds, to Rainbow Stream to Rainbow Lake or if we can't drive past the indicated gate. If we get stopped at the gate(unlikely), the portage is about a mile, from the end of the road, maybe a half mile. To carry all of our gear we have devised four Overland Transportation Carts.
