Ahsub Lake Campsite 7
View to the south (October 3, 2021). Notice all the trees knocked down on the island.



Campsite full tour. The campsite was impacted by the July 2016 windstorm. The storm blew down many trees around the campsite, so now the site is rather exposed to the sun. The latrine is a little hard to find and is back in the woods along a rocky trail. Nice views of the lake in several directions (October 3, 2021).

Ahsub Lake Campsite 10
This latrine is a bit hard to find. The trail to it is on the right side of the camp as you face the forest. Trail is uneven, twisty and rocky (October 3, 2021).


Ahsub Lake Campsite 11
This campsite is somewhat elevated and provides lovely views of Ahsub Lake. The campsite is somewhat picked over since it gets a lot of use. Ahsub Lake is a popular place to camp because the lake is stocked by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources with brook trout (October 3, 2021).


Ahsub Lake Campsite 3
Generally the same image as the one shown above. View toward the east. Disappointment Mountain takes up the right half of your view in the distance. Notice how much smoother the treeline is along the top of the mountain in this view. That is because this photo was taken before the July 2016 blowdown (July 25, 2015).


Ahsub Lake Campsite 12
View is from the back of the campsite. Shows the entire island that is just offshore from the campsite.


Ahsub Lake Campsite 13
