Remote and Rustic

This is a National Forest campsite, not in the Boundary Waters but close.

Has a good landing.

Up on a hill, great views and whispering pines.

About an hour paddle to get there, and includes a portage.

Has a fire ring and rustic latrine.

Some cabins on the lake but very remote.

A great secluded site for a somewhat easy quick getaway. Big enough for a 2/4 tents.
