Smuggler Cove

Just around the point of land from Frenchman’s Cove, this idyllic, secluded anchorage is very popular. There are stern-tie rings, so up to 20 boats can be accommodated, but it is unusual to see more than a dozen. So, if you like company in Eden, this is the place. Outside of July and August you might find a nook all to yourself. You can go ashore and hike extraordinary trails on boardwalks through beaver-flooded forest. The water is delightfully warm from May through August. Anchor in the middle of basins to allow for significant changes in depth and consult chart for obstacles. It is safe, but caution is required. This is a haven during bad weather.
