Redirect: This is a tricky one to get right. The Waterway is referred to as the Waterway, the Portage, the Canal, the River, etc. But, "Portage Lake Canal" is not a name that's usually used. Also, there is a dredged and a natural portion to the waterway, meaning that the "Canal" doesn't really refer to all of it. I suggest redirecting "Portage Lake Canal" to "Keweenaw Waterway". There really isn't any material to merge, then. — dcclark ( talk) 15:18, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
Am I correct to assume there are no locks on the waterway?
The article doesn't state the maximum draught of the vessels that can traverse the waterway. Ideally it should state this. If there are tight curves that limit the length of vessels it should state this too.

I need some clarification. So, was this waterway not a thoroughfare prior to the dredging, or was it simply that the ends weren't wide enough to accomodate large boats? This isn't exactly made clear, nor is what parts of it are man-made and which parts are natural. It appears that Portage Lake is entirely natural, but maybe that this was once a closed system at one or both mouths of the waterway? -- Criticalthinker ( talk) 03:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
