Landing Comments:
Easy, on protected moderate gradient cobble, pebble beach in protected bay. N aspect.
Camp Comments:
Undeveloped. Gloomy, damp but spacious. 1 tent site in upland second growth forest. Second site requires brushing. 2 or 3 additional sites overgrown (2021). Minor brushing could yield more tent sites. Larger sites on E side. Possible beach camping. Suited to hammocks. Sites littered with debris. Many trees reported to be rotten so camping could be hazardous in windy conditions.
Other Comments:
Water at seasonal creek. Hiking trails crossed island but reported to be impasable. Whale watching. Bay known as Dong Chong Bay. One of the 4 sites on Hanson I sanctioned by Yukusam Heritage Society for public use. Logging relics. Messy with abandoned boat gear that was to be removed by YHS/Namgis 2014 but still present 2021.
