Open site with a good landing, nice fire area, and good fishing nearby. Follow the trails past the latrine and you'll pop out on the other side of the island.

Nice site. Depending on the wind direction you could get some breeze, but the back is really closed in. We just stopped here for lunch. We would have stayed had it been later in the day.

Great open site with perfect bear bag tree. Latrine is appropriate length from main site. Good canoe landing, but max 2 canoes at a time. There is a path to the back of the island for viewing weather or quick canoe landing if you don't want to paddle around (i.e. lunch break). The only reason the site does not get 5 stars is the mice. Be good about cleaning up all food items and it will be a 5 star site for you.

Big site with beautiful views, sufficient trees to hang a bear bag, a moderately long walk to the latrine, and a nice big kitchen/fireplace area. Probably could only have max 3 canoes at the landing. Good site if you intend on hammocking (lots of thick trees). The only issue were the mice! I have never seen so many mice running around at night! Not our favorite site, not our least favorite site...but good if you have a nice sized group.
