A grand tour of this large campsite on Mile Island in Fall Lake. Campsite is surrounded by sand beach and has access to both sides of the island. Plenty of tent pad spots in the soft sand. There is a trail leading up a hill to the southeast that you can walk. There is some stonework here, remnants of a building foundation perhaps. Unknown origin. Campsite was heavily impacted by a windstorm that occurred in 2016. The campsite was in a state of disrepair at time of last visit (2018).


Fall Lake Campsite 1
Campsite has access to both sides of the island. Each side has sandy beach. There is an old foundation of stones and logs here probably dating to the logging era. Not sure what the function of this structure was. Many large trees have fallen in this area, but the campsite is useable.

Fall Lake Campsite 3
There is a hill to the east/northeast of the campsite that you can hike up and get a good view of Fall Lake.


Fall Lake Campsite 4
Because of the extensive treefall in this area due to recent windstorms, there are plenty of outdoor sofas to be had around the fire pit. Not so many trees for hanging food packs though. No problem finding firewood.

Fall Lake Campsite 6
Canoe landing even comes with steps. You could just as easily land on the other side of the island. The island is very narrow here so the campsite extends coast to coast. Hill leads up to nice overlook of Fall Lake.

Looking west from the north side of the island. Nice beach for taking a stroll and fishing from shore.

Easterly view from the north side of the island.

Path from the beach on the north side of the island, back to the fire grate area.
