Hiking
About halfway between Portage Pass and Portage lake is Divide Lake, receiving its water from the hills to the north, and shaping the path following it down to Portage Lake, always with Portage Glacier in view on the other side of the lake.

Hiking
Divide Lake is flat, tranquil, and edged with grass, almost as if it sprang out of the tundra on its own. As the trail passes it and begins a downhill grade, you'll catch glimpses of the lake's outflow — Divide Creek — as it races you down to Portage Lake below.
