BWCA Campsite 1458 on Knife

This is definitely a one-star site and one I would try hard to avoid. There is basically no landing to speak of. There is a rock shelf a foot or two above the water, and while the water is shallow, there is not a good place to pull the canoe out. The fire grate is just out on exposed rock in a burn area. There are very few trees, other than a small clump that appears to have escaped the burn, with a cedar and a couple of spruce trees. Otherwise, the site feels like a barren rocky hillside. There is one possible tent pad, but I would not call it good. It is basically a moss-covered rock, and you would not be able to stake a tent there. Everything else is sloped, including the fire grate area. There is no shade, no shelter, and no real hanging option. The only upside is that because there are no trees, you can climb the hill and get an excellent view of the South Arm of Knife Lake. Other than that, this is a site I would skip.

Trying to beat a storm we checked out this campsite. It should be removed / delisted / shut down. Absolutely no shade, totally exposed, on a hill, miserable.
