BWCA Campsite 1399 on Shepo

This is a small campsite with a very easy landing. The landing is a smooth, gently sloped rock, and the slant is so minimal that it is almost flat. You can basically pull the canoe up along shore, get out, and unload without much trouble. The kitchen is at the top of that smooth rock slope and has a decent view of the lake. You should also have privacy here because I do not think this lake gets visited very much, and even if people do come through, the travel route is not right by camp. I found one good tent pad and three maximum tent pads. There are two possible tent pads near the kitchen, though I am not sure how well stakes would work because the smooth rock may be just under the soil. A short trail to the west leads into the woods to a small dirt clearing among spruce and balsam, and that spot could also hold a tent. The trees around camp are a mix of spruce, balsam, and cedar, with a couple of cedars near the kitchen and more spruce and balsam around the back tent pad.

Sloped rock landing. Small, cramped slightly elevated site. No good tarp options or much room for anything. Smaller groups only. Shepo is a beautiful lake and, you would have it to yourself.

Small site in the trees. Good fishing from shore and only site on the lake.
