This is a pretty average site. It was very buggy for us and that made us move on after one night. There is a nice rock ledge on the west side for sunsets. There is a nice sandy landing but the firegrate is low to the water and thus, buggy.

This site has everything to make it a 5 star site. Nice landing/beach, access to rocks, hammock trees, nice fire grate location, unique rocks formations for cooking/sitting, decent latrine. We spent some time using the available logs to upgrade the seating area around the fire grate so it now includes a backrest. Seems like everyone goes to the island site, but this site is an excellent site. Stayed 2 nights before single portaging out the 428 rod back to Missing Link.

Great site. We stayed here for 3 nights. There spots for 3 tents and lots of trees for tarps. The beach/landing area was nice too.

Camp Notes:
Very nice camp site. A friend and I base-
camped here for 5 days.
Fire grate is close to the lake but built up
very nicely. Nice big rock to use as a staging
area for cooking. 2-3 tent pads depending on
how big of tent you are using. Good firewood
around. The latrine is a nice distance away/
the landing is sandy and good for swimming. It
is very shallow around the whole point so you
do have to be careful when you are approaching
the site. Hiking along the rocks is fun. you
can get some good sunset photos. I would stay
at this site again.

This site was a great refuge for our group after a
6 day, 80+ mile trip. Not a huge site, but 2
decent tent pads. The cooking area was nice and
right near the lake. But the best thing for us was
exploring along the cliffs to the west of the
site- great views of all of Tusc.

A nice little sandy beach canoe landing. A neat firegrate area that is close to lake but elevated a couple of feet from the sand. Also there is a large rock shelf just off the firegrate that can also serve as a table etc. At least 2 good tent pads. Plenty of trees for shelter & privacy. Nice view of lake to the north. Good fishing nearby.
