Little Otterslide Lake Campsite #2

Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Large rock slab at shore with semi-flat area in shallow water. A couple small-medium size boulders, and a steep, quick drop-off into deep water ....

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Part of the slab at the shore is very steep or nearly vertical, rising 2-3 feet from the water. Only a small area on the side to land where the slab is semi-flat and just under the water ...

Topography to tent sites: Steep closer to the water. Sloped up towards the tent sites ...

Campsite

Campsite maintenance: regular

Size of open area: 50x50ft.

Extent of tree cover: 60%

Degree of levelness: A couple flat tent areas, but the rest of the site slopes toward the shore, getting steeper closer to the water.

Number of tent sites: 3 to 4

North exposure: Evergreen patches block north exposure mostly.

East exposure: None. Hill and forest block East exposure.

South exposure: Mostly open except for a few trees

West exposure: Completely open.

General description: A nice size site that’s easy to get to. Good maintenance, fire pit but no grill, only one bench for seating. Good airflow without being windy. Great western exposure for sunset views.

Overall accessibility: Right along the canoe route. Easy to spot. Moderately difficult to load/unload canoes due to slope and small landing area.
