Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Small rocks, gravel, and some silt.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: None. One can step onto large rock or into no more than knee deep water. A breakwater of rocks has been placed in water to make a calm takeout possible. A natural clearing at the takeout provides an overnight spot for 2 -3 canoes.

Topography leading to tent sites: A 15m path rises 3m over some grass, rock, and root, to the front tent-pad.

General description: : The site with the sawblade. Big site with significant slope. Somewhat lumpy ground, and trees are present when looking for a tent pad. Very nice firepit. Wind from the west could be an issue if it's strong enough. No sun until late morning and afternoon, then early sunset because of tall trees and close proximity to western shore of Daisy Lake.

Overall accessibility: A bit of a climb to the thunderbox located up the hill at the back of the site. As well, a bit of a walk up from the takeout. The front of the site is a great place to sit with the sun setting.
