Landing

Topography of under-water approach: While its west side is comprised of steep rocks and deep water, it has a sloped rock landing on its south shore. If waves are rough at that location, the adjacent campsite's sand beach could be used in a pinch and the canoes/gear carried by trail to this campsite.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: Rough surface of sloped rock landing requires care be taken upon disembarking and unloading.

Topography leading to tent sites: The landing's gently sloping rock quickly takes one up to the levelness of the campsite.
