Nice open campsite for a group of 4 or less. Not too buggy and enough trees to bear bag and hang rain fly's. The landing was very flat, shallow, but navigable. Water was about 6 feet deep 10 yards off shore for swimming. Firewood wasn't "abundant" however in 40 minutes I had enough cut and split for dinner, evening story time, breakfast, and a treat for the wood goblins. Had an excellent July sunset view to the NW.

My group made the call on this one. It's a brushy site that didn't seem overly pleasant, even after a tough travel day. It just didn't have enough space for our group of 9 so we moved on.
