The trail begins at Frederick Sound north of Ideal Cove and leads west to its junction with the Three Lakes trail system at a bridge downstream from (east of) Hill Lake. The site is accessible from Petersburg via Mitkof Highway, the Three Lakes Road, and the Sand Lake, Hill Lake, or Crane Lake Trails; a distance of approximately 25 road miles and 2 trail miles to the saltwater trailhead. Petersburg is accessible by scheduled airline service, barge, and is on the Alaska Marine Highway ferry system. There are no utilities at the project site. In 2015 cell phone service was not available from any point along the trail.
