Massive island campsite with at least six tent pads. Seems to be a very popular site. Decent fireplace setup. There is a table rock that forms the entire east end of the island that allows excellent shoreline access. There is a trail that connects the south and north sides of the islands that runs through the woods. There is an open space in the forest near the center of the island up a trail that connects to the latrine trail.
