Nice elevated, wooded site. Large pine in center to hang packs. Good landing on the end nearest Misquah. Long trail to latrine with two good tents pads along the way. Best pad is located in the main site area. Fire area has decent seating and just enough room for chairs if you prefer them to logs. The firepit is structured similar a fireplace, rather than more open like a normal firepit. Caught a small pike from the site in the narrow channel.

A really nice site. The fire grate is set up a bit from the lake but it's not real high up. There are a couple nice landings on the south side of the island, east of the main rock point. I didn't count tent pads, but you could get 3 easily. There is a great white pine in the center of the site. There is lots of grass and smooth rocks. The previous campers left us more wood than we needed, so we didn't go exploring for wood, but it looked like there was more than is typical in busier sites.
