Boat access to Pistol Island

Dave R · 03-25-2005, 10:15 AM

Is there decent boat access to Pistol Island? My boat draws 36" and I was thinking about renting the cabin on the island. I think I know the area where the island is (by the Dow Islands and near Nine Acre Island) and am pretty sure it's quite rocky but am hopeful I can navigate it safely.

Cheers

I didn't think they had much of a dock at that camp, what size boat do you have? We are right across from the camp on Whortleberry. We water ski/tube all through there. Haven't been right up to the camp though.

Wife nixed the idea of spending a week on an island with no running water and no electricity. Thanks for replying though.
