Thank you Bob and Paul for your explanation. So in this context "hole" = "spot." Interestingly, the lake is quite shallow at "Virgil's Hole." No evidence of a campsite, landing, bench, or an old fire ring. We would never have landed there had it not been for the "Virgil's Hole" sign.
Incidentaly, the huckleberry crop was exceptional at Bad Lake. We picked a bucket in no time at all...
