If you haven't already considered it, I'd suggest an alternative. Launch at Artlish Landing. Doing so cuts the logging road travel by at least 2/3rds and only adds about 6 klicks to the paddle. You could camp at Atluck Lake on the way in, or worst case, at the launch site which is a large flat area for vehicle parking (a lot of bear sign though). We've used this launch for the last couple of trips. Rob.

What is the road like? About the same as from Zeballos to Fair Harbor (ie bumpy gravel, at least as of around 9 years ago when I last visited) or better/worse?* 2. Can you camp near the launch site at Amai or is the nearest camping at Fair Harbor? Or, even if there isn't a designated "campground", is it ok to just find some place near the parking area to put up 5 tents? *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
