K23 is Moxie Island's day-use landing on Kabetogama Lake, with a sandy beach for a swim and a simple pause during a boating or paddling day. There is no road access, so fit it into a water route rather than treating it as a drive-up picnic area. Bring your own food and drinking water; no on-site food or potable-water service is identified here.
Beach and lake viewsThe sandy landing gives you a place to come ashore and swim.
The sandy landing gives you a place to come ashore and swim. A rocky outcrop on the island's north side opens a broader view across Kabetogama Lake. Its current approach is not verified, so treat it as an optional look-around rather than a marked walk.
