If you get a nice day to explore the Vern River you will love it. Bring a fishing rod with slip bobber and some leeches and fish above and below the narrow areas and hold on. (I am sure other methods would work fine too). Enjoy. |

There are a few good tent sites, compact but level. Also a large flat area on the second tier above the fir area that would be a great spot for a larger tent, or as we used it, a great spot for a tarp with a view of both the fire grate and the lake. It's not outstanding in any particular way, but very comfortable for a night to a few. My tent site was up a trail maybe 35 yards with a nice flat area and a view. Mine is a 2 man tent, could probably fit a 4 man. A nice flat area on the second tier of the camp area, could be a tent site, we used it as a tarp site which kept us dry and happy in a few rainstorms. We watched a few incredibly large flocks of geese flying overhead, this is one of the largest I have ever seen. Good sunset views The Vern River is about a 15 minute paddle away and is an excellent daytrip. Easy, very scenic and good fishing for smallies and walleyes. |
