Belford Island

• Location: Lake Superior
• Lat / Lon: N 46° 18.586' / W 083° 52.908'
• Depth: 9 feet
• Description:

  A course of 030 degrees true from the Hilton Beach Light leads you to the pair of spar buoys that mark the approach to Portlock. From there, a series of daybeacons directs you between Colby Island and Woodman Point into the anchorage. Local craft and shoal-draft boats reportedly negotiate the passage between Dawson and Coatsworth Islands, but cruising boaters should return to the main channel.
