Generally accessible May through October; winter access depends on snow cover. Being this far north (lat 44.954°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly.

Conditions at Bonney Point track the nearby Smith Cove bay (0.3 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
