I portaged from Hogan Lake to Big Crow Lake and found it very long. It is steep for the first 400 m. While working in Gatineau Park, a camper mentioned to me that he had found that portage to be more than the 3700 m. I think it`s more like 4700 m. While on Big Crow, don`t forget to visit those white pines...Have a safe trip..
Doing this trip in 6 days would be very ambitious. I did this loop in 1973 and took 9 nights with layover days at Radiant and Hogan. There was just two of us in one rather heavy (by today's standards, probably about 75-80 lbs) wood and canvas canoe. We single tripped every portage and paddled fairly long days. This is a great route so take a few more days to enjoy it.
