It's NOT off the beaten path and not a portage trail.

I knew that clue was too much. Second chance?
This one should be easy but paddlers, please hold off and give the hikers a chance to reverse their perspective.
Looks like Imagecoast went down. Here's a different host.

Go for it, but the picture you attached didn't show up, at least on my laptop.

I knew that one was too easy but it's all I had. That's why I first went for the Hidden Lake photo. Most of my visual recordings of campgrounds are located only in my head. Your turn.

I'm absolutely loving this thread. I'm sure my co-workers have been wondering what's wrong with me as I squint too-closely at my phone while zooming in on the pictures.

So here's my submission...might be too easy. Also put here because its one of my favorite pictures:

I also like this thread. Such Fun!
My guess: Siskiwit Bay
Based on the sun position, dock type and background of the Greenstone Ridge.

Daisy Farm sunset? I can't remember if the dock was an "L" or not to point toward Moskey (it was being rebuilt when I was there last Sept).

Siskiwit is my guess too, If you look on Google maps and zoom in, you can even see the picnic table on the dock.

So we're awaiting fonixmunkee for a confirmation, and Mike T for a new submission.

I predict, this will become the #1 thread if we keep it going. 8)

Waiting. :P

I wasn't familiar with orientation of the dock at Siskiwit, so looked on google maps too. Gotta be Siskiwit :)

I want to keep this thread going, so will add a pic. Mike T can submit a photo at a later time.

Keeping with the "dock" theme, here's one from a hot day in August.
