If the only campsite on Otter Lake is occupied, you’ll have to continue on to Cummings Lake. There are several nice sites from which to choose, including a large site on a beautiful, pine-covered rocky point just a half mile east of the 5-rod portage. Claim the first vacant site you see. Cummings Lake attracts visitors from the Crab Lake entry point. The farther east and south you paddle, the more likely it is that you’ll find the campsites occupied.

Day 3 (11 miles): Otter Lake, p. 5 rods, Cummings Lake, p. 35 rods, Korb River, Korb Lake, Korb River, p. 1-10 rods, river, Little Crab Lake, Lunetta Creek, Lunetta Lake, p. 60 rods, Lunetta Creek, p. 48 rods, creek, Schlamn Lake. After the previous rugged day, this day should be easy, so enjoy it. Unlike the previous nine portages, all of these trails are well used and well maintained. None is difficult, although the 35-rod path may be wet at the southeast end, due to a beaver dam that floods the trail. The length of the short portage along the Korb River depends on the water level, ranging from a mere lift-over in high water to a 10-rod carry in very low water.
