Great views, level tent spots, easy landing, trees for shade and spots to sit in the sun—but it is close to a portage trail that sees its share of use. We arrived in the afternoon and left early in the morning but the spot worked well for us.

We stayed here since we were going into Cherry the next morning, worked perfectly for that as the site trails connect directly to the portage. Site was decent and comfortable with nice views.

Ended up at this site since Ester was full. While it's very close to the Cherry portage, this wasn't a concern for us. The site was very nice with a great view and great rocks to sit out and watch the water.

The only significant negative for this site is proximity to the Cherry Portage. The camp is maybe 40 yards south of the portage landing. It has a nice exposed rock face looking east over the lake and looked like a nice spot. We portaged through and did not stay.

Small wooded site that connects to the portage

Thought it was nicer than the site across the lake. We were taking the Cherry Lake portage in the morning & didn't have to paddle from there in the morning. Lots of firewood around, site isn't used very often. Couple hammock spots.
