In looking at the map there is a narrows that divides Ogish into the upper and lower parts of the lake. There are three campsites on two points located in the narrows. My question is- Are these campsites located in the burnt out area? If so are they nice enough to camp on? Thank you. |

We stayed at campsite #792, the northernmost campsite on the lake, about 1/4 to 1/2 mile north of the narrows. If you look at the satellite view on Google maps, this site looks like it's in the burn area. But, if you zoom in, you'll see there's about 100 feet of trees all around the campsite that was missed by the fire, the site itself was unaffected by the fire. We stayed there two nights and you'd never know there was a previous burn, there were plenty of hammock trees, nice tent pads, and the site is sprawling. It can easily accommodate 3-4 tents, and has a couple of decent spots to fish from shore. If you get a chance to grab this site I'd do it, we'd stay there again in a minute. And you're only a 5-10 minute paddle to the narrows. |

The south western side of the lake is great and none of the sites on that side were burnt. All 3 of the island sites are nice with the 2 near the Annie Lake portage being largish and flat, but lack a lot of trees for hanging a tarp. The site on the peninsula just south of the narrows is a nice site but rather rocky with an annoying boat loading area on a slanted rock. The island site closest to the narrows is my favorite, but it only holds 2 to 3 tents. If you base in that area beside to day-trip over to Agamock Lake to check out the Agamock bridge. Going the other direction over to Eddy Lake is very nice too. As is checking out the Keke ponds on the way to Kekekabic Lake. |
