Route 3 - Big Porcupine, North Grace, Welcome and Rock Lake Trip: Starting at Smoke Lake (Access Point #6) head south to the end of Smoke Lake, into Ragged Lake and then south into Big Porcupine Lake (1) and camp here for the first night. Day 2 you head south into Coon Lake and then over to McGarvey, Lemon Lake and finally into North Grace (2), where you camp for the second night. On day 3 it's two long portages from North Grace to Lousia and then into Florence Lake. From here you head into through Frank, Rence, Harry and into Welcome Lake (3), where you camp for the last night. On your last day it's a long portage out to Pen Lake and then paddle north to Rock Lake and access point #9. You would either have a car waiting or you would have booked a shuttle with us that would pick you up and bring you back to the Portage Store. This is a harder 4-day trip, mainly because of the number of longer portages and can be made into a 5-day trip by taking a layover day along the way.
