The Bartlett Cove Public Use Dock is the Main entry and launch point for vessels. Sea otters and river otters can often be spotted diving into the cool, green waters in search of urchins and fish. Sea star and anemones cluster along the pilings and can be seen during low tide. On a clear day, an observer can count peaks in the both the Beartrack Mountains and Excursion Ridge. Mount Bertha, Mount Crillon, and Mount Fairweather can all be easily identified from the dock.
