Beaver Pond Bummer

Not my favorite campground on the Superior Hiking Trail. Heading southbound from Grand Marais this was to be our first possible water source after a very warm day. The Pond looked ok in the middle. It it was very warm (brain eating amoeba anyone?) and stagnant on the edges. The latrine was pleasant. The fire pit was in full sun and too hot to sit on the benches so we opted to rest on a shady slope nearby. The tent pads were few and sloping as well. It felt a bit claustrophobic with trees and no views. Even the pond was not in view. If you're heading SOBO then I recommend a couple extra miles to the small but moving Sundling Creek campsite or even better the Trout Creek campsite on the Cascade River.
