lundbom lake east campsite

Nice little campsite on the east side of the lake. We went to see if there were any sites on the south east side where we had been in 2016, but the lake water was so much higher all the beach sites were flooded. Where I had hung the hammock between trees was now beach front. amazing how much water was in the lake and how much more of the shore areas were flooded. the camp host said that it was like this for the last 2 years..

the site we had was right on the water, small path to leave the canoe and sit on the water. nice and breezy so that kept the bugs at bay during the day.....not so at night we had to put up the bug house as it was just too much.
