There is a water pump here acting as a drinking source for hikers. It is an unusual old looking variant, but seems to work, even tho the water quality is a bit suspect. Using a filter I didn't get sick at least.

Great shelter next to a really lovely lake. The shelter is located just by the water with easy access for swimming. There is a fireplace and some benches. Just 200m along the trail south of the shelter is an outhouse. To the east is a high peak with a stunning view over the lake. Seems to be a popular spot.
