As my screen name indicates, Tuscarora Lake holds a special place in my heart.  So, it sickens me to inform of the discovery (on a very recent trip) of a trashed campsite on that beautiful lake.  If portaging in from Missing Link Lake, it would be the first site to the west (#517 on north shore).     We gathered up all the trash we could find and left it near the firegrate but, there were still several larger live trees that were cut down that we left where they lay.  Plus, I'm sure there was also stuff we didn't find - as there was 'garbage' everywhere including the lake!

The Forest Service has been notified.

That's horrible-- Thank you both for teaching others how to act and for also cleaning up after others. It's unfortunate that this must happen-- but it is also comforting to know there are good people out there willing to do the "dirty" work. 

I just spent last weekend on the island campsite on Burnt lake-- also a well used site-- there were a lot of green branches freshly cut, some saplings freshly cut down and there were a few trees that looked like they became target practice for people with hatchets and knives.  There was also enough rope and para-chord in the tree's to equip 10 groups.  Overall, human trash wasn't terrible, but natural trash was very dissapointing.
