Lake McDonald and the winding waters of Yes Bay define this coastal reach of the Tongass National Forest in Southeast Alaska. The landscape is characterized by steep topographic shifts, rising from the marine environment of Blind Passage to high points like Bald Mtn and the distinct geological formation of Twin Rift. Waterways such as Wolverine Cr and Spring Cr drain the uplands, cutting through the dense forest towards the irregular shoreline. This 2021 survey details the complex coastal geography, identifying several island landmasses including Black Island and a portion of Hassler Island. Notable maritime landmarks like Indian Point, Bluff Point, and Syble Point provide essential orientation along the bay, reflecting the area's ongoing importance for navigation and forest management within the Alaska Panhandle.
