These sites are located on top of a moraine above a small pond, or glaciated tarn.

A wood sign indicates the path to the site; the path may be marked by red arrowheads on trees. Upon arriving at the site, pitch tent(s) within 15 ft. of the silver metal arrowhead to limit impact on surrounding vegetation.
