Have any of you ever stayed on this site? What's it like? I love out of the beaten path/quiet places and this looks inviting to me.

It's Q. There's a portage out of McIntyre to the south and a no-name lake to the north that could take you to Burt for example.

Never been there but they tell me it's nice.

Camp is a small island site. Seems to have a fair amount of use. Two small camps on the northern shore east of the island/ Portage to the north is directly into Burt (just a back bay). There are nice largemouth in Paulene. It would be fun to go up into the arms. I've only passed through- but have passed through a lot (once or twice a year).

I should add portage to McIntyre is relatively difficult. Climbs out of Paulene and then a steep descent towards McIntryre before ending with a long soggy section with difficult footing, (rocks, roots, mud, water). Portage into Burt is fairly level, somewhat long, a bit swampy just as you approach Burt. Both portages are easy to locate from Paulene but difficult to find on the Burt or McIntyre end.

I've been through the lake a few times over the years.  The portage is mis marked on some maps on the McIntyre end.  It's just east of a small spit of an island and has a grassy, open landing.

I fished the lake in 2011 passing through but didn't run into anything.  I haven't seen the site.
