Great site with a rock to jump off for swimming right in from of the site. There are several options for tent pads and hammocks. The main cooking area is up on top of the island with a commanding view of the lake.

On top of south facing cliff rock. Nice site, but greatly exposed to wind and sun. Have to haul gear from base landing area up to top of cliff area where grill grate and tent pads are.

huge site, both open and shaded. More open on the top of the site on the rock face. Lots of spots for hammocks in the lower, more shaded area of the site. Good swimming / bathing right off of shore. Not much luck fishing right off the site.

Doing research on BWCA bear attacks, I found a study written about the attacks in 1987. This campsite is where the bear was killed. http://www.bearstudy.org/website/images/stories/Publications/BWCAW_Bear_Attacks_of_1987.pdf
