Next time you make it to Wisini you should check it out. 1. It's kind of cool. 2. There is a nice big area of blue berries and raspberries on the other side in the woods. :P

brantlars, sorry I didn't see your question. But my guesses were taking you in the Wong direction anyhow. Between the cliffs and overhangs, plus tripod, this lake is a must see!

very cool, thanks mcsweem. I may have to take a day trip in there from SAK this spring and have a look around.

Jeemon, do you know where those pics of the cliffs are located on the lake? If you zoom in on this map tripod rock is east of the the bottle neck

I can only assume that is is the rock that the map is referring to.
If you are sitting on the ledge of the campsite and look straight across the lake, this rock is sitting on the edge of the shoreline.

It looks to me like the name tripod rock was handwritten on the map. I suspect the original owner of the map gave a rock formation this name rather then it being an official name.
Its always cool to look at old maps to see differences such as lake names, old roads and trails, closed resorts, etc.....

Cool, thanks RT! Amazing that one small rock is still holding it up after all these years.
@ LMB: I don't think it was hand written, the map is well used and picture of it is not great but in person it looks original to the map.
I will be going to check it out this spring for sure

RT I looked at my video again and I see this rock, wish I would have noticed it when I was actually there.

I believe that that rock was placed their in that manner by the natives so that the white man would ask questions.:)

My neighbor gave me some old maps, from the 50's. I have been checking them out a little each evening and there is a lot of cool stuff. One spot on Winsini has a spot called tripod rock. Anyone been there? is it still there? I found nothing on a site search about. There are also lots of old trails marked, there must be 8 trails running between SAK and Kekekabic

I'm just guessing here, but there appear to be some really nice cliffs and outcroppings on both the south-east arm as well as the central narrows. Not sure which one could be it...
