Important Notes:
(1) You'll want to bring your water shoes as the bottom of the Bay is flat rock and can be slippery. The Bay can be fairly cold but warms up mid July. We also suggest hiking boots and a walking stick if you're planning on doing any of the more advanced trails such as Halfway Log Dump.
(2) The Michael resides on a 'No Winter Access' road, meaning from Oct 15 to Easter Weekend every year the road is not municipally maintained and is the responsibility of the local Rush Cove community to upkeep. Although we do have an enclosed 'Side By Side' ATV to help shuttle guests from the Rush Cove parking area, a Four Wheel Drive vehicle during inclement winter specifically from late November until mid-March is highly recommended. We ask that you plan your travel well in advance of travelling to Rush Cove during this time and connect with your Guest Concierge to help with travel planning.
