The best feature is the expansive sloping rock ledge where you land. There are multiple places to load if wind is favorable. The somewhat scruffy clearing is small, and passing traffic is visible. The north wind exposed grate is close to the water and has 2 log seating. Tent pads are scarce, and only one is good. This limits size of group. Swimming was good off the rock ledge.

OK in a pinch, but even at end of Sept., buggy. Poor excuse for a kitchen. Easy landing. Not much flat ground. Good front porch. Motors.
