Cross Bay Lake Campsite 1
A nicely located campsite near the middle of the lake, with lousy canoe landing spots. You might need to get your feet wet at this landing. Couldn't find any spots around to the sides that were any better than this (May 12, 2016).


Cross Bay Lake Campsite 2
Commanding views of Cross Bay Lake. This is looking toward the east/southeast (May 12, 2016).



Exploring the campsite located at the sharp bend along the western shoreline of Cross Bay Lake. This is a fine site except for the canoe landing and the latrine being way too close to the rest of the campsite. BWCA Campsite 558 on the south end of the lake, by the Rib Lake portage, would likely be considered superior by most campers (September 4, 2022).
