Landing is easy on a gravel beach with lots of canoe storage. The steep climb up to the clearing is on rock steps. The large and somewhat open clearing is high on a rock cliff, and offers a superb view of island studded Pipestone Bay. The 2 log kitchen faces east and may be exposed to wind. There are 4 large tent pads at the back of the clearing. Swimming looked feasible from the gravel landing.

Gravel beach. It is a hike up to the site, but it is worth it. The site is on top of a large rock/cliff with an amazing view. It is sandy and flat on top of the cliff with some very nice tent pads.
