Mostly sheltered with a narrow view of the lake. A few large white pines create a pine duff floor. The landing was OK - there is a flat rock that I tried to use, but it wasn't stable, so be careful when trying to unload.

We ended up on this site after encountering full sites on Omega and nearer to the Winchell portage. While I didn't love it, there was a nice stargazing rock near the water's edge that gave us a huge view of the southern sky with the milky way. Bear bag was easy with the white pines near the shore line. Definitely not an amazing site, but it wasn't disappointing either. A solid 3 star.

A well secluded site with a nice firegrate area. Thus there are no good panoramic views of the lake. Has a couple of very nice tent pads & a nice stand of huge white pines near the latrine.
