Remote, pretty, dull
Takes about a ten Mile dirt/gravel road in poor condition to get to. This is a carry in/carry out site. Vault toilets, a boat landing, and some nearby snowmobile trails. Nice enough sites, pretty empty when we went on a Monday. Not much in way of activities, no beach or close by trail loops. Nice lake. Very few bugs. Unfortunately many people left trash behind. We didn't find it worth the bumpy long ride in and only stayed a night.
Nice sites way back in the woods
Close to Iron Mountain but tucked away in the woods enough to be secluded. We stayed during the week and we're the only site occupied. Very peaceful, lake was very nice
