This small pristine site is located at the rivers edge and provides a fantastic fishing spot. A trail (less than 1km) leads from the parking lot down to the site. The trail initially leads down to and follows the ridge top, then cuts down to the left side leading to a flat plateau along the upstream rivers edge. Here you will find the basic amenities of 1 pit toilet, table and fire ring. Alternatively a steep trail to the right of the ridge will access the rapids and pools on the downstream side of the river (FYI: the better fishing location).

Driving Directions:Travel ~11kms S(SW) from Mackenzie and turn right on to the Causeway (then turn left). After crossing the bridge over the Williston Lake keep to the right and merge with the Finlay North FSR at ~20km. At ~62.5km take the Finlay-Nation FSR. The site is located at ~74km.
