I think Uppa’s explanation is likely correct.

And Speaking of Lavieille. I have pretty good intel on all the island sites except this one.

Anyone set foot on it ?

Never camped on it, but have canoed by it a few times.  It looks from the water to be a good=excellent campsite with good fishing from shore.  Looks like my opinion is different from Uppa's, but he doesn't fish and HAS SEEN it much earlier than I remember seeing it (OMG....I am getting old)....I  have always camped on the small island next to Crow Island when camping on that side of Lavieille.

Like others, my trip is also booked after May 14 (May 17-25).  I am 100% certain that the ice will be out by then and also 100% certain that my reservation will change once I know when the ice is officially out.  I love being part of the many going in on the 1st day you are allowed to interior camp after ice out.

Only 110 days until trout season opens in Algonquin Park (April 24.....last Saturday in April).

Okay I may have been confusing that site with a different one further south, as it looks better in my videos that I remembered. My own comments at the time were that the site was "okay" - I wasn't super enthusiastic about it, but neither did I think it was awful. Here's what it looks like from the water.

Thanks Uppa....your photos bring back good memories of Lavieille fishing.

FYI, a small plane crashed into Lavieille on June 18, 2001.  I was camping and fishing the Crow River when this unfortunate accident happened.
