More than 10 years after the 99 blow down the campsite was still recovering. Most hard hit there were no aged pines left on the island. The under growth and the the small saplings were prevalent everywhere. The third morning was a hard frost. The lake was in full fall colors and the aspen and poplar were all orange-st yellow. Amazing.

Nice landing with two good (max three) tent pads. A short upward trail from the landing brings you to where the tent pads are hidden from the lake.

Not a great site. I would only use it if nothing else is available (which is why I stayed there) or the weather is bad and you need to get off the water. No large trees for hanging a tarp or a bear bag. Bear bag not as much of a problem given site is on an island. If it rains plan to get soaked. Really terrible canoe landing full of uneven rock. Fire grate is decent and offers a nice southern view of camp. Lots of ticks when we visited. All the ticks are found were reddish wood ticks and not the black deer ticks.
