Crossing from one side of Indian Arm to the other can be a bit intimidating as there is regular boat traffic. Be sure to bring lights and make yourself known if you are traveling in inclement weather.

Once you cross to the east side of the fjord, the paddling is much quieter with fewer boats.

At high tide, you can paddle through the Twin Islands, which make for a very scenic journey.

There is a jetty on the island. Expect it to be very crowded on weekends. Motorboats and kayaks will be jostling for position.

Be sure to bring your kayaks up off the jetty as there is very little room for boats.

The grove of cedars just beyond the jetty is where nearly all the platform sites are located. It is quiet and well sheltered.

Up on the hill above the platforms, there is more space for sites. Be cautious choosing the sites. Try to avoid disturbing the moss.

This can be a good spot for groups. It is separate from the lower grove, which often has families and folks sleeping earlier. As ever, be respectful of your companions.

All campfires are prohibited at all times. Bring your own stove and plan accordingly.

The island has plenty of great spots for exploration. The north tip even has a small lighthouse. There are plenty of slippery rocks and coast waters, so it's a good idea to ensure children stick together, are supervised, or wear lifejackets.

The dock makes for an excellent swim spot once your companions have arrived.
