secluded, but access to falls and great fishing.

This site is not very good but the fishing across the bay is excellent (where the water flows in by the Jasper Lake portage). The tent sites are sloped and firewood is very scarce until forest renews itself after last fire. The landing is tight but sandy. The site is near a little swamp so mosquitos were intense in the morning (we had high winds at night). One cool thing about the site was that bald eagles were everywhere and easy to find sitting in tall burned trees high above the new growth.
