Go if

Paddlers and hikers who want a lakeside spot in the Allegheny Highlands without paying much will find fall weekends here hard to beat. Come by kayak or canoe from Fortney Branch to skip the steep climbs and descents on the trail in.

Skip if

The outhouses are reportedly unusable right now, there's no potable water, and previous campers regularly leave trash and abandoned gear behind. If a functioning toilet or clean baseline camp is non-negotiable, this one will disappoint.
