General description: A large and level site. A tent could be pitched almost anywhere on the site because of the levelness, except that the fallen trees that bisect the site remove some of the tenting options. A small clearing at the front of the site is good for storage of a couple of canoes.

Overall accessibility: Not an easy take out or put in and only one canoe at a time. Site is level with few obstacles, however, the tent pad on the south side of site requires stradling a couple of fallen trees to get to.
