I would think about trying to avoid portaging as much as possible and 
stick to the big lakes, or even head over to Voyageurs NP where all 
the lakes are big. There are a few manufacturers of portage 
yoke/backpack systems for kayaking. I can't remember offhand who 
makes them. I see the big hassle being the loading and unloading.
