Landing

Topography of under-water approach: The campsite's rock point slopes down to the water on the east side. There's an organic bottom to the small landing area.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Stepping out into mucky water to unload is to be expected. Grade immediately starts at water's edge.

Topography to tent sites: 25' rise over distance of about 40' to the tentsite and firepit areas which are on different levels.

General description: This campsite is extremely confined. While it definitely provides shelter from cold shoulder-season winds .. it will be a stuffy, buggy and unattractive during the summer. The only open breezy area is on a lower level closer to the water on the southwest side of the point.

Overall accessibility: The mucky landing, steep ascent and multi-levels could be troublesome to young children and some seniors.
