McKaskill Lake – Site 6

This is a nice little (almost) point site on McKaskill’s east side. I say it’s an almost point site because while it’s definitely on a point, and very clearly surrounded on both sides, it’s not quite at the tip of the point. So, if you need your point sites to be three-water-sided or bust, this isn’t for you. If, however, you’re a free thinking rebel who doesn’t care if your point has a tip, this is a good spot.

The terrain is … it’s not exactly uneven, but it’s not entirely flat, either. Can I call it wavy? There are some gentle rises and falls if I remember correctly. It’s not a huge site, but there’s room for a couple of tents and the fire pit is very nicely set up. The benches around it are in good condition, and you’ve got a nice (if somewhat obstructed) view out to McKaskill.

The canoe landing is on the small side. There’s a break in the shoreline growth that’s big enough for one canoe. It’s a nice approach, no significant underwater obstacles that I recall, but if you have more than one boat you’re going to be taking turns loading and unloading. Swimming here would be fine. The underwater terrain is a mix of sand and silt and McKaskill is a nice lake to swim in (IMHO).
