Entire site is on a sloping granite ledge. It has a small, sandy landing (not a beach). To me, the interesting thing about the site is that it contains basically every kind of tree - oak, poplar, pine, maple, and elms. There is a large maple tree at the landing. An elm tree is by the grate. Pines are futher back. Awesome view from the fire grate, but there might not be shade. Two good tent pads, though both a slightly slanted (not badly).
