BWCA Campsite 1219 on Ensign

This is a deceptive site from the water. It looks small and crappy as you approach it, but we were surprised to discover that it's larger than it appears. Every other site in this part of Ensign was already taken, so this was literally our 6th choice. The landing is rocky, like most other sites, but it was easy enough to find room to land and tie off 4 canoes. The fire pit is elevated so you get a nice view looking west across Ensign. We had no problem putting up 4 full size tents and 1 single-person tent (9 person crew), but could have easily accommodated 6 full size tents on flat pads. We did squeeze 3 tents into a single pad area (next to the toilet trail) but they all fit just fine. If you really needed to, you could probably stick another small tent or two in a less-than-ideal location. No real good spots for bear bags, but there are a few trees with low branches down the trail to the left of the fire pit. We went in July and there were june berries (aka Saskatoons) and blueberries around camp. Caught two decent walleye from our bank in the little cove in the early morning using a paddletail swimbait and a jig with a twister tail. I'm surprised this site wasn't rated before. I thought it was pretty nice.
