Guide
Approach and anchoring
Reached only by boat or floatplane through the inside waters of the archipelago. Holding is on mud. The cove is sheltered around almost the full compass and open only to the north, so it gives good cover in most weather. The nearest landing is the public dock at Baranof Warm Springs, about 18.4 nautical miles east.
Practical
No facilities at the anchorage. Baranof Warm Springs, 18.4 nautical miles east on Chatham Strait, has a transient dock, a boardwalk and natural hot springs near a waterfall.
