Yes,
Yes,
Yes.
NW corner of Ryan Island; the largest island, in the largest lake, on the largest island, in the largest lake in the world!
We took a break there before heading to Wood Lake camp.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Well that was a lucky guess
. I've paddled by the south shore of Ryan Island and it doesn't look near as hospitable!

Re: Guess What Campground?
The trees should be a hint. And I think the first pic of this campground.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Hatchet Lake is correct, site 1.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I thought it looked familiar. I think I have camped at that site at least once.
I am posting a picture that may be really easy or hard, depending on your curiosity. It is a campground.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Good one! No idea where this is, but it's the most unique picture I've seen yet.
The engine is in some sort of shed. I'm sure that's a clue.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I believe it's a generator that used to run a navigation light.

Re: Guess What Campground?
I bet Ingo knows where this is! The picture is the shed that houses the motor. The clue will probably make this too easy. I heard this was where the park headquarters was before moving to Mott Island.

Re: Guess What Campground?
Are you referring to the campground in Rock Harbor/Snug Harbor? It is a good guess but not correct. We have seen a picture with this campground already, if that helps. I will post another picture/clue soon!

Re: Guess What Campground?
Yep. I figured it just may be in a campground that almost everybody has been to at one time. You can walk by something so many times you almost forget about it.kolo wrote: Thu Apr 06, 2017 2:12 pm....Are you referring to the campground in Rock Harbor/Snug Harbor?

You can't walk to this campground, you could swim though. Another picture to help!Yep. I figured it just may be in a campground that almost everybody has been to at one time. You can walk by something so many times you almost forget about it.
