Landing

Topography of under-water approach: 2’ deep rocky flat when visited in late summer. Some submerged timber along shore and out from campsite. High earth/grassy bank with scattered rocks at water levels.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: At high water levels none. At typical summer water levels, there is a 2’ bank to climb up on to load/unload the vessel(s).

Topography to tent sites: Slight grade to campsite area from bank, otherwise flat. Roughly 1.5 meter elevation from waterfront during summer water conditions.

Campsite

Regular or low-maintenance: Regular

Size of open area 20’ x 20’: Extent of tree cover 85% canopy over tent/kitchen area.

Degree of levelness: Sufficiently flat around firepit and tenting area.

Number of level tent sites: 1 flat site adequate for <=3 person tent.

North exposure: Protected from the north winds. Site backs on to forest.

East exposure: Landing and firepit area are fully exposed to eastern winds.

South exposure: There's exposure from the canoe landing and the site’s rocky point only. Proximity to southern shore and tight bay should be adequate protection from southern winds.

West exposure: Good protection from west winds. The site is recessed into the far west bay.

General description: Poor campsite and landing. It's small and mostly shaded site with poor swimming/lounging opportunities. While there's good day-long sun exposure on the rocky point, there's few flat exposed areas to take advantage of it. Rocky point proved a great sunning spot for the many northern water snakes inhabiting the area just above the water surface. Only 1 flat tenting area. No issues with firewood. Poor summer sunset views from site, but good sunrise vista. The forest is young growth of pines and hardwoods.

Overall accessibility: Fair to poor.
