Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Shallow with sand bottom

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Room for one canoe to disembark at a time. Unloading area is very rooty and any cargo must be moved immediately away from the area. There is a 2nd landing on the southern point that could be used, but is quite a carry to the site and there is no distinct path. The only advantage would be a less steep climb.

Topography leading to tent sites: Steep climb of approx 4 meters.

General description: This is a long narrow site that is heavily treed. It is not very well protected from wind because of the size of the old growth trees and elevation above the lake. The front of the site gets sun for most of the day, while the back gets little. It's a fairly level site with 3 levelled tent pads and a larger natural area just behind the firepit. There are many other places that could be used to set up a tent if required.

Overall accessibility: The climb to the site could be challenging. And in wet weather, caution is needed.
