You should also be able to hang 6 hammocks on the peninsula site on the south shore of This Man about 1.3 miles from the portage in from No Man. The island site nearby should also accommodate you. I've only stayed once at the eastern-most site on Emerald. You might be able to hang there, but most of the trees are mostly at the periphery of the site, if memory serves me. I'm guessing that you don't want to go as far as Other Man. |

Over the past couple of weeks I have read a bunch of trip reports written about the area. From the pictures of campsites I have seen, Carp has some nice, open sites with lots of hanging options. Beyond Carp, it looks like the terrain changes to more dense cedars where it might be difficult to let us all hang. I know you can hang a hammock pretty much anywhere if you need to, but I'm not one who trims underbrush and branches to create a spot. So, do any of you have enough experience in this area to let me know if the Emerald to Man Chain loop will work for our group with hammocks, or should we basecamp on Carp and day trip to those areas? |
