Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Rock and gravel.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Could only find one spot (high winds) that was sheltered enough to allow for an easy disembark. There were some rocks and exposed roots at the water's edge that could be used to stand on. And the under-water bed was level enough on this rocky approach. It was much easier to stand in slightly more than ankle deep water to unload the canoe. The lift and climb on to the site was slightly more than 1 meter.

Topography to tent sites: On site as soon as you make a 1 meter climb.

Risky takeout if you don't want to stand in water ...

Campsite

Regular or low-maintenance: Regular

Size of open area: 25 meters x 15 meters.

Extent of tree cover: Extensive.

Degree of levelness: Good.

Number of level tent sites: 4+.

North exposure: Trees, slight view of lake.

East exposure: Trees, slight view of lake

South exposure: Trees.

West exposure: Trees.

General description: Big site, ground is level but "lumpy". Lots of trees and fallen trees on site to limit useable area. Well protected from the wind. Not a lot of sun.

Overall accessibility: Could be a challenge at the takeout if you don't want to stand in the water. There are other places that could be used, but each presents its own challenge.
