Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Some weeds & growth, but a small cleared landing from the east side.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Some growth cramps the landing preventing multiple canoes from unloading at the same time.

Topography to tent sites: Slight rooted rise up to the primary area that houses a firepit facing north with a lovely (but weedy) view of Booth lake. Off from this primary area to the south-west up about 25 vertical meters will take you past the thunderbox and bring you to the secondary area that can more comfortably support a couple of tents with the level ground up on that perch. Here there is also a modest firepit with a basic bushcraft table for support.

Growth on approach, room for one canoe to comfortably dock and load ...

View into the primary area giving an idea of the uneven grade and a glimpse of the firepit with benches ...

Looking east back to the path revealing the second, more level, gathering area ...

Looking south-west again to showcase the available level tent space up at this perch. Sadly no photo of the view from up here ...

Campsite

Campsite maintenance: regular

Size of open area: Primary is open unlevel, medium. Secondary is open level, medium.

Extent of tree cover: Primary area is moderately covered with open northern exposure. The secondary elevated area is less sheltered with mostly only tree trunks to impede any wind.

Degree of levelness: Primary in unlevel. Secondary is level.

Number of level tent sites: Two.

North exposure: Lake.

East exposure: Lake.

South exposure: Trees.

West exposure: Lake bay of weeds and reeds.

Looking over this primary area’s lounge with the northern view of Booth Lake ...

General description: An unusual multi-level camp site. The lower primary area is not level to support comfortable tenting, and the upper secondary area is level but very exposed.

Overall accessibility: Landing is okay, and there are roots over a slight slope towards the primary firepit area, but it’s a hike up to the secondary level area. This site’s recommendation would be heavily weather dependent.
