Remote Camping Along the Northern Forest Canoe Trail

There are two sites available here (North and South) and both are beautiful! The site is also a portage area for a section of the Northern Forest Canoe Trail. We spent our second night on a short multi day trip here. The site sits at the mouth of the Moose River as it flows into Attean Pond. If you are looking for a secluded spot, this is a great one. 

There is an outhouse available (shared with the other site) and was in relatively decent shape when we were there in October. The site also has a picnic table and fire ring. There is a nice semi-protected point where we pitched our tent under a full moon. If the area is busy, you might experience a little foot traffic near the site along the portage trail, so be aware of your where you place your gear.

If you are looking to do a section (and a loop even) trip on the NFCT, this is a great area to do it as long as you've got the ability to portage your boat and gear.
