Landing

Topography of under-water approach: The underwater terrain is rocky with a gentle slope.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: There is room for many canoes/kayaks. The rocks can sometimes be slippery.

Topography leading to tent site: Well-worn paths over flat rock with a few exposed pine and hemlock roots.

Note: The landing and another island on the south side provide some wind protection.

Campsite

Size of open area: This is a large campsite that feels very open, with most of the site covered by large, mature hemlock trees.

Extent of tree cover: Sufficient tree cover to protect from the wind. Most of the campsite is dominated by large, mature pine and the more common hemlock trees.

Degree of levelness: Generally pretty flat.

Number of level tent sites: Many flat places for tents. This large campsite can accommodate many tents and/or hammocks.

General description: A large campsite with many flat areas for tents. Due to a campsite shortage on Lavieille over the May long weekend, this shared campsite accommodated 3 tents and a hammock. There are a number of flat areas ideal for tents.

Overall accessibility: The thunderbox is in a pretty private area a distance away from tent pads and the firepit seating area.
