Tucked up the furthest reaches of the Broughton Archipelago and reached via Wells Passage, this is one of the most sheltered and picturesque spots in our list. The basin is large enough for several boats and is sheltered in all weather, although susceptible to westerly inflows. Stay to the centre of the narrow entrance channel and stern tie on the E shore or anchor off of W shore in 6-9 metres with good holding in firm mud. At the far northern end of Turnbull Cove you can hike to Huaskin Lake — look for the collection of pilings and the BC Provincial Parks trail head sign. There is a rusting steam donkey at the head of the trail, along with other evidence of logging. The 1-kilometre trail is a bit steep and there is a staircase carved out of a log down to a weathered dock and picnic table. The viewscape is dominated by a helmet-shaped buttress. Turnbull Cove is a staging area for side-trips through Roaringhole Rapids to Nepah Lagoon or the scenic journey to Watson Island.
