Landing

Topography of under-water approach: recommended landing is north of actual campsite. It has underwater rocks requiring careful approach.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Stepping out on to rocks, steadying canoe and transferring packs to firm level ground located about 18 inches higher, is best as a two-person process.

Topography to tent sites: A rising trail through open forest leads SSE to the campsite.

North exposure: Dense forest.

East exposure: Dense forest.

South exposure: Open to the channel which leads to the eastern part of the lake.

West exposure: Wide open to the lake's west bay, its winds and sunset view.

General description: Spacious larger campsite. Being on an exposed point, wind can be a problem. Without possibility of tarping the firepit, it can be a 'bleak' experience in the rain and/or wind.

Overall accessibility: Landing access can be a distinct challenge, particularly when waves are pounding ashore. The distance to be walked up and down to the tentsites from the landing could be tiresome.
