very nice open, slightly tiered site, tent pads found at all levels, we were there early and my brother caught a laker off the rock near the landing, which is easy and sheltered. very nice sunset view from the kitchen. hiked around a bit but didn't get to the other site. we got another laker trolling by the north point of the camp side of the island. there is a reef east of the island towards the portage to Alice and another laker. The trout were all near the surface, ice was out late.

Great site with a western view. Nice level sleeping pad. Swimming just north of the site in the black sandy beach.

Best site we've stayed at in the BW. Huge site with a trail that goes up to a cliff overlooking Thomas. We wished we had more time to stay more than one night. Caught a decent-sized Northern casting from shore.
