Sandy bottom with lots of hermit and green crabs and some moon snails. Cove contains lush seaweed and sea grass. Boulders make up the bottom near the cement pier, providing an alternate substrate to explore. Mild in the cove, but strong outside when the tides are running. Look for the Elkins Cove sign.
Divers often find anchors and fishing gear.
Beside the ramp. The 90-foot steamship Edmund Burke burned to the waterline and sank here in the 1930's. Its remains lie in shallow water in front of the only cottage located between the road and the lake. Divers occasionally find anchors and fishing tackle at this site as well as old bottles from the settlement's early days. Small lot on the left at the bottom of the hill.
