I really enjoyed this site. It burned and is exposed, so it's not for every situation, though the lay of the land does give some protection from the south and east. There is one solid pad and another that could be tidied. I gave the fire ring a little love - certainly no shortage of fuel! The best feature is the large flat rock area, which is great for swimming, sunbathing, and stargazing. It also has nice views of the narrows to the north and the whole southern lobe of the lake.

I was curious what was here, so stop and got out for look. Could only find a small fire pit of a few rocks and many downed trees from the 2021 fire where the tent pads should be. It would require some work to make usable again.
