Very secluded site little traffic. Climb up to the site is reasonable and the site overlooking the lake was mostly secluded by trees.

Very cool site for a small group. I liked this site quite a bit. Follow the latrine trail a short way to find an excellent tent pad you might otherwise miss until boom-boom time. Decent landing with room to unload and stash canoes off to the side followed by a climb to a high site with a view through the trees of the lake. Lots of neat pollinator activity when we were there due to all the flowering plants immediately around the site. The elevation and slight view might make one think it's exposed, and while the fire grate itself might catch a little weather, anywhere you'd set-up to sleep is quite sheltered if there's rough weather.

Nice little site tucked very far back in the bay. Elevated and not good for a large group perhaps, but great for the two of us with only one tent. Lots of big trees and easy bear rope targets. Site is mostly on two levels with the fire grate being on the top one. Best tent pad is near fire area which is quite nice. Someone left a big, flat wooded slab for filleting fish.

A very small elevated site with a nice overlook of the lake. Not much room and not very flat. Decent canoe landing. Would be a great site for a solo trip.
