Ralph Bice Lake Campsites

This campsite is located towards the north-east end of Ralph Bice Lake at 45°42'24.97"N, 78°55'48.09"W. Open in Google Maps It's accessible from the Madawaska Lake Park entrance through Hambone Lake - about 2 hours canoeing and portaging.

It features a nice little narrow bay at the tip of the point with a sandy bottom that you can canoe into to land your canoe, but you'll have to step high onto some roots to get up to the main campsite. It's easier than coming in off the rocks to the south.

The fire pit is located in a large open area. There is a large knee-high rock near the fire pit that you can use as a cooking "table", to the left of the photo.

Swimming is good off the rock on the south side of the site, but be careful - the water is shallow. No diving.

It must be a busy site as you have to got far in to find firewood.

There's a smaller flat rock at the north side of the site just beyond the large fallen tree that gives you a nice sunset view and NE exposure for stargazing.

There are several places to pitch a tent further into the woods on the way to the Thunder box.
