Campsite

Campsite maintenance: Regular.

Size of open area: 10m x 7m.

Extent of tree cover: 60%, open in center of site.

Number of level tent sites: 1.

North exposure: Trees/glimpse of lake.

South exposure: Trees.

West exposure: Lake.

General description: A good sized site, but because of the slope and uneveness of the ground, there are few choices for setting up a tent. From the landing area, there is a 50m path that leads to the portage to Ironwood Lake. Gear could be transported to the portage, however moving a canoe would be tricky because of the density of the trees.

Overall accessibility: The landing area is not immediately visible. But it is a much better choice than unloading at the very front of the site.
