A 1,000-foot trail through big old-growth spruce leads to a beach with three dispersed picnic and camping sites. The views take in Sumner Strait, Kupreanof and Kuiu islands and, on clear days, the mainland peaks; whales are often seen. A memorial honors twelve people lost in a plane crash in the strait.
