This is another compact site on this part of Back Bay, best suited for a small group of 1-2 people. The site has nice views of the very northern tip of Back Bay. Landing: 2 It is a little bit rocky, but not too difficult to get the canoe up off the water, NOTE Water levels were 2 to 2.5 feet lower than normal at the time of this visit. Kitchen: 3 it is small but efficient. There is a little room to spread out for another chair. Tent pads There are 2 that are pretty good. Another area could be made to work Toilet 2: It is brushy getting back to the toilet. And the toilet is not very far back, but it is still not visible from the kitchen area.
