Good site on the narrows of the lake. The landing isn't great, probably the site's worst feature. The fire grate only had one bench facing it, and then another square of benches behind it. I'm going to guess that's where the illegal firepit mentioned in other review was, but it is gone now. A few good tent pads in the woods and a trail along the bluff edge led to an excellent hammock spot. No jumping rock but nice wade-in swimming from the bluff.

Good views of the lake, decent tent pads, and good hammock and tarp hang options as well. Unfortunate to find an illegal firepit here which has clearly been there a long time judging how well-entrenched the rock ring was. Not a lot of seating by the official fire pit. Landing was alright, no great spots to put canoes but we managed. Also bothered by bees on a sunny day which otherwise weren't a problem on the trip. Heard 2 boats over 2 days from LLC which was a bit unfortunate. I don't think this is a 4 but it's a decent site for sure.

Honestly, I was expecting more. The fire area was rough. Not a large site, but it did have great views of the lake.

Rocky but manageable landing. Climbs up to a mostly exposed firegrate area which provides great vista to the south & west. There are a few nice, sheltered tent pads & good tarp hanging trees. Walk to the latrine is a bit challenging. Trails run in several directions from camp for exploration & firewood gathering. There's even a functional rock live well down near the landing.

very nice site on the top of a bluff over the narrows. losy landing. Good SM fishing on this lake. Tried for the Lakers but just painted them at 110 feet deep. The portage to the north going to LLC was flooded over with a beaver pond. I would go back.

Great site at the narrows of the lake. It's not a big site, but has a nice cooking area and a couple good tent pads. We had a bear cross at the narrows and pass right through the edge of the site in the morning.
