Generally accessible May through October; winter access depends on snow cover. Being this far north (lat 44.974°), first snows typically arrive by mid-October and linger into early May — narrow the window accordingly.

Conditions at Eagle Point track the nearby Echo Cove bay (0.4 mi away) closely — if that is runnable, so is this.
