We’ve saved some of the more spectacular anchorages for last. Here we are at Covered Portage. We have been told that this little hide-away can hold 40 boats during the busy vacation weeks of July and early August. Imagine our surprise when we tucked past the rocky entrance to find ourselves alone in this paradise.
We were here for 3 nights and shared the anchorage nightly with only 6-7 other boats. Kids of all ages love this little anchorage. It inspires the imagination and you feel like you’re in Neverland without Captain Hook and the ticking crocodile.
This little anchorage has a lot of trails to explore. Here’s Mollie being line leader and she was doing pretty well until she veered into the woods after a pesky chipmunk. There is a great panoramic view from the top of the south trail. We noticed that some of the other trails here are now marked “Private” and we hope that this trend does not continue. There is a well-marked trail on the north side which leads you up and along the cliff tops back out to the entrance.
It’s hard to leave paradise but we know that we will be back here again next year.
