Free and walk-in only, Site L sits at the trailhead end of Trail 200 in William B. Bankhead National Forest, making it the first site encountered from the Sipsey River Trailhead off Cranal Road. The clearing is small, with an established fire pit and direct river access for water. It sits high enough to avoid flooding. A nearby cave has drawn trash, so cleanliness can be an issue. Campers who get a late start will find the short walk-in distance useful, though those with more time tend to continue further down the trail to Sipsey Wilderness Backcountry Site (Trail 200 Site K) and beyond for more appealing options.
