During the summer months, many recreation options are available. Visitors may access the island by means of a passenger ferry which travels to Grand Island's Williams Landing. The passenger ferry makes four trips daily and will ferry mountain bikes for an extra fee. The island's rough dirt roads are tailor-made for the wide tires of mountain bikes. Trails designated for hiking and mountain biking allow visitors to select from shorter day-use routes or longer routes suitable for overnight visits.
Most trails are dual use, although hiking only areas have also been designated.
At this time, camping opportunities range from random camping at undeveloped sites to primitive camping at designated sites along Murray Bay and Trout Bay. In the future, both the accessibility and variety of campsites may be expanded. Also, while no entrance fee is charged at this time, look for one in the future. Hikers and mountain bikers are allowed to use all open roads and trails, but be aware that you must share some of the roads with vehicular traffic. All visitors must use care.
