We almost stayed here if it wasn't for the wind. Such a unique site with multiple levels. The best view over a lake from a campsite that I've seen. Did not investigate tent pad/hammock options. Found that the latrine is pretty exposed and not very private... but you get a great view of the lake while doing your business!

high above the lake, very open fire pit area-would be a 5 with more big trees there. Fishing was good off the point by landing. Swimming under the site with a large rock to north for jumping. High point with a view up top has blueberries on it. Tent spots at multiple levels. Did not know what people meant by no place to put up shade at the fire until a blazing hot sunny day with reflection off the water. Trail to the south gets you all the way to Agawato lake. We avoided the tent pad by the fire as it looks like a runoff area and storms were forecast.

Stayed here solo. One improved tent pad next to the fire pit, which has a great elevated view of the lake. A few tiers of tent pads with the other good one very close to the water in the pines. A sand beach landing and an easy trek to the box. Not much for shore fishing as the site is very steep to the water but a short hike and you could wet a line.

We stayed at this site for several days in July 2011. The landing is around the corner and has a very nice sand beach. There is plenty of room to land several canoes at a time. The site is elevated about 20 – 25’ above the lake that faces the main body of Lynx Lake. Super views of the lake. You can see the portage into Little Shell from the site. I remember a tent pad that was framed with timber and large enough for our 4 man tent. It was level and smooth. Can’t remember the shape of the other tent pads but there must have been some cause we had another tent and a hammock. The fire area was not much to brag about but it was functional. Being this close to an entry the site showed signs of wear but not too bad. What I do remember about this site was the great fishing from atop the bluff. We could sit 20’ above the water and cast our slip bobbers with leaches and catch fish all day long. If you hooked into a large one (and there were quite a few of those) you had to scramble down the slope and land the fish and let it go. Not the greatest site I have stayed at but better than most.
