Landing

Topography of under-water approach: Sloped rock shelf with smaller underwater rocks.

Impediments to disembarking from and/or unloading a canoe: The rock shelf is on an angle, is slippery in places and drops off fairly quickly.

Topography to tent sites: Significant slope up to the fire pit with big steps up over exposed tree roots.

Campsite

Campsite maintenance: Regular.

Size of open ground area: We didn't measure, but this is a large site with two levels and could accommodate a large group.  The fire pit level slopes up from the water and is quite exposed.  There are two separate fire pits. 

Extent of tree cover: The fire pit area is quite exposed. The tent sites are more sheltered. 

Degree of levelness: Not very level. The fire pit area is on a steep angle, and even the tent sites have some waves to them.  We camped in hammocks and our backs don't have first hand experience, so I don't feel qualified to comment further.

Number of level tent-sites: 3 - 4.

North exposure: Open view of the lake.

East exposure: Open view of the bay.

South exposure: Trees.

West exposure: Open view of the lake.

General description: This is a large, pretty site that could easily accommodate a large group. There are two levels, the fire pit area which is quite exposed and the tent site area which is more sheltered.  The exposed fire pit area is a good place to enjoy the sunrise and sunset, and there is a "back porch" set up on a cliff that is surprisingly sheltered while still offering a nice view of the lake where you can take in the sunset. A trail runs along the water and back into the woods and there was still a fair bit of good firewood back there in late August.

Overall accessibility: Moderate - a tricky put in, exposed tree roots and elevation challenges could make this a challenging site.
