Shot Watch Cove 1 Camp

Shot Watch Cove Camp (Site SWC1) is a backcountry paddling campsite in Pukaskwa National Park on the eastern shore of Lake Superior, Ontario.

It is one of two campsites at Shot Watch Cove (SWC1 and SWC2 form a shared double site) and features a sandy beach with views of nearby islands.

The cove takes its name from a local legend: a pocket watch with a bullet hole through its middle was reportedly found here.

Beyond the story, the location has practical value — Shot Watch Cove and Morrison Harbour, roughly 1 km to the south, are recognized as reliable shelters from Lake Superior storms, making SWC1 an important emergency refuge for paddlers along this exposed coastline.

The site sits approximately 6 km from Willow River and 12 km from Oiseau Bay North.
