Tim River – Lower Pine River – Site 2

This is the more appealing of the two Pine River sites on the Tim. It’s not a big site, but it’s flat and has a nice view out to the river. The site is located at a bend in the river a couple kilometers downstream from the first site. Despite the p460 in between the two, it’s worth the extra effort to get here. While it’s a small-ish site, there’s enough flat space for a good sized tent, or maybe even a couple of small tents if you don’t mind getting cozy with your neighbour. The canoe landing is wide enough for one boat, but there is a bit of a current that can make loading and unloading more of a challenge. The underwater approach is fine and free of obstacles. There’s a small climb up to the site itself, but once you’re up there the site is remarkably flat. The fire pit area is fine and has a view out to the water. I’d be happy to stay here for a night, particularly if I’d had a long day and didn’t want to tack on another ten or so kilometers to get to Shippagew (this is the last campsite before Shippagew).
