This is primarily a backpacking campsite along the Kekekabic Hiking Trail, so it is very simple from a canoeing perspective. There is no water or shore access at the site itself. If traveling by canoe, you would reach it by taking the portage, heading east on the Kekekabic Hiking Trail, and then taking the right fork not far from the portage. The campsite is just a small clearing in the woods. The fire grate area is maybe about 15 feet by 10 feet, and there is one very small tent pad. It is a good pad, but it is sized more for a backpacking tent than a larger canoe-camping tent. The site has no lake view and is surrounded mostly by brush and spruce. I also noticed a large pile of moose droppings near the tent pad, so moose clearly use the area too. The latrine trail felt overly long for the size and simplicity of the site. For backpackers, this is probably a typical trail campsite, but for canoe camping it is very limited.
