BWCA Campsite 1413 on Dix

This site is very rocky, and I did not find a good place to put a tent. I would call it zero good tent pads and two maximum tent pads. The landing is almost wide enough to parallel park a canoe, but not quite. It is not too deep, though, so if you are willing to get in the water, unloading packs onto shore would not be too bad. From there, it is a small incline up to the site. The campsite is screened by a lot of cedars, with some jack pines mixed in. That screening blocks much of the view, but it also provides wind protection. The kitchen sits behind the cedars and has the same tradeoff: limited view, but decent shelter. The campsite itself is basically one small open area on top of the hill, and the ground is rocky, lumpy, and uneven. You might find a hammock spot, but this is not a good tent site. It is better than the island site in the middle of Dix, but it is still a very limited campsite.
