About this site

Source

This is an open, unfussy spot on the water near Woss: a large clearing with a rough boat launch, room to swim, and little between the sites and the lake.

There are 23 sites, first come, first served on gravel access, and no fees are collected here. The site is user maintained. Water levels can climb quickly, and the shoreline can flood in late fall and winter, so pick your spot with that in mind.

Woss is about 20 km away and holds the nearest fuel, which makes this a fill-the-tank-first kind of trip. Frost Lake is about 13 km off if you want a second body of water.
