Travel Information
Access is by boat only. You can hike the Dusky track. From Loch Maree and then descends to the Bishop Burn. After heavy rain, low-lying parts of this section can flood.
From Loch Maree Hut, take a side trip to Supper Cove. From the Bishop Burn to the Henry Burn the track is flat and follows that cut by West Coast miners in 1903. From the Henry Burn the track gets rougher as it sidles the slopes overlooking the Supper Cove. Supper Cove Hut (12 bunks) is visible on a small terrace just south of the Hilda Burn.
From here you still would need a kayak or boat to get to Shark Cove. Or sail into Shark cove where is good anchorage.
