The road is now filled with dense vegetation and at times it may feel like you are swimming through tall grass. The trail enters a clearing just before the Siskiwit Campground. This clearing was the site for the logging camp responsible for the logging road. This logging camp was later used as a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp after the fire of 1936. Just past the clearing is Siskiwit Bay Campground that includes two shelters and a dock, making this campground popular with backpackers and boaters alike.
