This is a well-used site on a rock shelf about 10 feet above the water. It is open and a little dusty, but it has great views, especially looking east down the lake. The kitchen is dominated by a big white pine growing right next to it, which should provide some shade during the day. I was not sure how much breeze usually comes through the site. With an east wind during my visit I did not feel much, and from the west it is probably more protected. The landing is pretty decent. There is a rocky area at the bottom where I could pull up, with enough room for canoe storage, and then I had to hike my gear up to the site. The whole camp area is fairly flat and open along the top. I found three good tent pads and five maximum tent pads. There are also trails going off along the shoreline and rock ledge where I could explore or take in the view.

This was a nice site. Lots of room to sit and enjoy one of the Boundary Waters' most special lakes. We took an adventure out from here to see the pictographs and the old fire tower remains. Unique area for sure!

Great Site! Canoe garage off to the side and excellent elevated kitchen area with good benches and flat rock "table." Easy bear hang. Large tent pads near the kitchen and a great hammock spot along the shore. Nice 5' cliff jump into deep water.

Rocky landing, elevated site with a great view. It's easy to keep an eye on lake traffic from here and still feel like a private site. The rock slab on top provides level surface. Good fire grate / latrine. Good hammock area. Good sunning area.

Great site. A decent but somewhat rocky canoe landing. A climb up some 15-20 feet to a beautiful firegrate area complete with a large flat rock table & an elevated view of the islands out front of the site which provide nice scenery and some privacy from passing canoes. 2 large flat tent pads very near the firegrate & a few large trees to provide shelter and shade.
