Otterslide Lake Campsite #4

Topography of under-water approach: Silt, rock, and gravel.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: No real landing area, must stand in knee deep water, or reach down from rocky shore to unload.

Topography to tent sites: Unloading puts you on the site.

Not much to choose from to use as a landing.

Campsite

Campsite maintenance: Regular.

Size of open area: 10m x 5m.

Extent of tree cover: 20%.

Degree of levelness: Somewhat level.

Number of level tent sites: 1.

North exposure: Trees.

East exposure: View of lake.

West exposure: View of lake.

General description: Small site with 1 flat and level tentpad, though in a pinch a 2nd tent could be squeezed in. Very little protection from the sun or wind.

Overall accessibility: With the rocky eastern shoreline, it is challenging to load/unload a canoe and just as challenging to get in or out of one. Accessing the site from the southern or western shoreling is not an option because of trees..

Firepit.
