This is an especially peaceful place on the lake. It’s a short finger-of-a-cove that is protected from almost all winds all the time. It possesses a short waterfall from a large pond above (37 38 54.42 N, 89 15 30.77 W) when water tables are high. The large block of rock that is left-of-center has an angled underside that was the home of a beaver lodge one summer. Because of the wind protection, this is a place where the water is calm as here, and when the waterfall is flowing, even the sound is soothing.
It just so happens that this is near the end of the hard row of approximately 4,360m I do most days when rowing by myself. (Of course it’s 4,360m *down* the lake and then the same hard row 4,360m back *up* the lake toward the dock! 4,360m is a bit less than 2¾ miles; it takes me 21–23 minutes to row this distance on this part of this lake.)
[The route: 37 40 37.35 N, 89 17 14.83 W » 37 38 45.90 N, 89 15 46.18 W.]

@digitalrn Very astute and observant, Rick! Yesterday, however, I noticed two people to the left of the big rocks on the grassy slope with no boat in sight, so there must be access from above!
