Best Answer

Portage is just a technical word for "carrying it around because we can't go through here". Simply take the kayaks to the shore, remove all of the associated equipment and place it inside them, then find a path around the dam. Carry the kayaks along it until you are past the dam, then set up and paddle away again.
