Loved camping on this lake. We hauled our canoe loaded with our tent and amenities on a dolly the half mile or so back to the camp sites. Some of the best catch and release artificial lure only fishing. Loved watching the loons on the lake. 

Worth the hike back.

We only stayed one night but it was very nice, right by the water. One other camper nearby but completely out of earshot.
