Sylvania Wilderness planning
Sylvania canoe route builder
Choose two lakes to calculate the shortest chain through the official portage network—without pretending paddle mileage is known.

Shortest mapped carry chain
1. Crooked LakeClark Lake112 rods · 0.35 mi
Total carries: 112 rods · 0.35 miles
This optimizes published portage distance only. It does not estimate paddling mileage, travel time, water conditions, or campsites. Confirm the chain on the official map before departure.
1. Check feasibility
Review each carry and the total carry burden, especially if you plan to double carry.
2. Choose camps
Reserve named sites on lakes along the route; a route does not guarantee campsite availability.
3. Confirm conditions
Wind, ice, closures, landing conditions, and daylight can override a mathematically short route.
