This is a workable post burn site with a nice view. In general, the lakes in this chain are more burned than Lake Three but with much less traffic. It's elevated and has a nice kitchen area / benches, with one or two trees that could hold an adequate but probably-not-textbook bear hang. It's elevated and exposed though, so I elected for the site to the east, which is a bit of an upgrade on all counts.

Very exposed post-burn. This site sits on a little point with a small kitchen area and steeper landings. Tent pad situation is a tad rough. With its place on an awesome lake though, I wouldn't avoide staying here if needed.
