Gold Portage Area Details
This half-mile portage trail connects Kabetogama Lake with Rainy Lake. The Rainy Lake end of the trail comes out at Black Bay, near the Rainy Lake Visitor Center. The Kabetogama Lake end of the trail comes out just across from the Chief Wooden Frog Islands. The Hacksaw Pass day-use area on the shores of Kabetogama Lake is a great place to stop for lunch. In future years, the park service may introduce interpretive signs to the area, with information about Ojibwe Chief Wooden Frog and the Ojibwe Tribe that used to live among these islands.
