Vandalism of living trees was extensive on this site ..

North exposure: Shoreline trees block the view and wind.

East exposure: The point of the island is treed and blocks the view and east wind.

South exposure: A row of trees interrupts the view and blocks some of the southwind.

West exposure: The bulk of the island and its trees block any view and west wind.

The large rock lookout has a clear view to the north .. great for star-gazing ...

This much smaller lookout has a view east down the lake ...

General description: The trees surrounding the firepit and tentsite areas blockout the view of the lake and produce a very confined atmosphere. Two attractive viewing areas are located quite a distance away by trails that wind through the point's trees. The viewing areas are elevated well above the water and don't provide a safe swimming opportunity. Perhaps the confined nature of the campsite played a part in there being a lot of destruction done to trees.

Overall accessibility: Generally accessible from the water.
