I’m trying to do a backcountry loop starting at the access point where it says Smith Marine heading to the right down the lake to the horseshoe Falls portage but the uncertainty I have is if it’s possible to head up through the horseshoe rapids with a canoe. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t look like there is a portage to get past those rapids. Wondering if anyone has any experience in this area and could tell me if it’s possible to head up those rapids up towards site 532.

I hope this is the right sub to ask in but we have a potentially deaf Brittany pup (we’re getting some testing done very soon and will know for sure what the extent is). I was wondering if anyone knows if it’s possible for us to use him for bird hunting even though we can’t really use voice commands in the field/forest. I’ve seen online resources talk about vibrating collars in order to signal a recall. Using this (or any other suggested tools), Do you think it’s possible for him to still be a good hunting dog?
