This was a weird site. We stopped for lunch here but really were not pleased with the setup. The views were nice to the west, and the kitchen was good. I saw two possible locations for tents, one of which seemed to be right in a well traveled moose path due to the hoof prints I saw. This was in a lower area and was very obviously a mud pit after a rain. In a pinch, there was one other pad that could work, but not great. It was a really nice rest and eat spot though.

The landing was good. There were plenty of places to sit along the lake. Good views of the lake in all directions. Kitchen area was good.

I enjoyed a magical little fall solo trip here. This site has a nice rock landing and good views out into the lake with some grassy tent pads. I had a superb sunrise here.

The landing was tricky. The site is small. Not much special about it. There is one good tent pad - when we were there, it had a little standing water from the rain the night before.
