The site can be accessed by floatplane, boat or kayak, depending on conditions. Visitors are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

Recreation

Sea kayaking is an extremely popular way of getting around, but visitors must provide their own equipment and consult tide charts before setting out (local tide charts).

Hunting is possible in designated seasons with the proper permit.

The cabin was clean, and wood shed was stocked. We appreciated the "bear window" for our food, even though we didn't see or hear any. The outhouse was also in good condition, and we enjoyed all the previous log entries. This is a cabin we would stay at again.

The trip started out that we had to clean human poop from around the cabin people before us I guess did not believe in using the outhouse ( Very disgusting). After cleaning the poop up the trip was great. I hope someone can get in touch with the people ahead of us and explain the outhouse.
