From Mudro to Horse River , DOWNSTREAM to LBFalls, and onto Crooked is easier. Far fewer and easier portages, more paddling. Timewise, probably about the same, although I have always done the loop counterclockwise. I like to do the portaging part of the trip with emptier food packs and a week's tripping experience for the other trippers.

As long as the Horse River water level is sufficiently high.

Sounds like you must have gone down the Moosecamp River instead of going Gun-Fairy-Boot-Fourtown...? which is pretty easy portaging.

the other way is thru the basswood river, which is really scenic. You can get a tow to back bay, washington island, or, my favorite way, up to goose narrows thru an outfitter like Packsack, located on Fall lake. However, this would need to be a round trip back the same way, unless you put a car at different take out.
