We backpacked into the Coves site, which was about 2 miles from trail head to the camp site. There are 6 backcountry sites at Coves, each with bear box and pole which helped. Bring everything - it's truly backcountry which is exactly what we were wanting. Small hike down a dune takes you to Lake Superior which was a pristine, empty beach and perfect water source (bring filter).

Hike everywhere - the beauty is breathtaking!! We did about 8 miles along the cliffs, and every turn was something new and amazing. The cliffs are very high, and straight drops off the edge, so be careful if you're taking little kids. (Or teenagers who are invincible).
