Magnetawan Lake Campsite #4
GPS - UTM location N 45.662036 W78.991418 Landing Topography of under-water approach: Rock shelf. Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: The rock shelf is a little slippery, but not too steep. Care is required loading and unloading and to protect your canoe. Topography leading to tent sites: Rock slab sloping up from the water.
Campsite Campsite maintenance: Regular. Extent of tree cover: The fire pit area and "ground floor" tentsites are quite exposed. The tent site on the 2nd level is more sheltered. Degree of levelness: The tent sites are fairly level. Number of level tent sites: 2, or 3 in a pinch. North exposure: Lake and forest. East exposure: Lake South exposure: Lake West exposure: Forest.
General description: This is a quiet site with two distinct levels.
The fire pit area and room for 1-2 tents is at the ground level, and there is a second level separated by a rock shelf with a dramatic looking tree growing out of it. One note - the path to the thunderbox is not marked and we had to hunt around a bit to find it. From the second level tentsite, follow the path that heads roughly south west. Overall accessibility: Very accessible. Thanks to Jeffrey McMurtrie of Jeff'sMap for supplying the base-layer map component by Creative Commons licensing. Submitted by Andrew M. ..
