Anyone explore this bay, any sights worth checking out, not worried about fishing this trip just adventuring, paddling in September 28th, plus anyone stayed in either of the two campsites, thanks for any info.

I stayed at what I believe is the "Hilton" site back in 2011. It was a good campsite, we were forced to stay an extra day due to conditions. This is the site further into the bay, on the East side. Fantastic firegrate area.

There's a car on the Canadian side nearby, I think a little closer to Friday Bay? Not exact on the location, and it looks like I don't have my earlier trips in BaseCamp.

I took a couple moments and googled "Cadillac Narrows" which brings me to this result on bwca.com

The island site is one of my favorites. A lot of room for tents and hammocks and an awesome fire grate area.

I think Stu uses this one for his guided groups as well.

If this is the island site in the southeast part of bay, it also has an awesome view of the entire bay as it is quite elevated. It does make for a pretty good climb to get to the fire grate/tent pads. Good fishing back there.
