Works in a Pinch

This could be a decent group of sites, however, as of  May 2021, I would only suggest these sites if you were extremely tired, its getting dark, or weather conditions drove you off the water. 

Access from the river is a Shale type outcropping that is rough on gear and humans both.  This has a small trail leading up through the weeds leading to a tight "clearing" for camping.  This was extremely over run, the grass was knee high or higher.

Then you add in the amount of ticks and flying pests, and again, choose this site wisely, and warned.  The biggest shame is that the views are great, its a quiet spot,.....  Could be a very nice site with a little maintenance.
