BWCA Campsite 1427 on Kekekabic

This is exactly the type of site I like. It sits among white pines with pine duff underfoot and has a great view of the lake. It feels tucked away enough that I probably would not see many people come down into this bay, though there is another campsite nearby and I might see people in the distance. The landing is okay. There appear to be several places where I could land, and while none of them are spectacular, they are workable. Most of the site slopes, so there are fewer tent pads than I expected. I found two good tent pads, and I could fit a third tent somewhere if needed. The setting and ambiance among the white pines are great, but the limited tenting keeps it from being an even better site. Despite the limited tent pads, I am still rating this 5 stars.

was here in 91 or 92, I remember the sloping rocks and the creek-got a large leech for bait out of it. We put the canoe in a groove and tried to launch it, it went straight under water from the steepness. Won't do that again. We tried to paddle the next portage or two back east, but not enough water. Weather was a bit wet and we tried trolling in Kek for lake trout, probably not enough weight on the lines to get deep enough.

I rather liked this site. Yes it is sloping, but it managed to fit our group of 9. I added a star to my rating since there was the creek was really flowing near the campsite while we were there adding a pleasant waterfall white noise. There's lots of amazing rock faces and old cedars near the site as well plus a great view of the little bay and back through the narrows to Knife. Our group finally had sunlight here too which was great.

Situated in a nice grove of red pines, plenty of shade & shelter. Seems most everything is on a slope though.
