We attempted to anchor at Covered Portage on a Saturday afternoon. All the marinas at Killarney (we were not going to stay at Killarney) we full so Covered Portage was packed. We attempted to anchor at the far end of the inner harbor 4 times in one place and 2 times in another place. Never got the anchor to hold. We left and went to Snug Harbor. Our suggestion is to avoid the weekends at this anchorage.

Beautiful and crowded anchorage. At least 20 boats stayed in the anchorage. Very well protected by beautiful rock cliffs. Access to shore on the west end with hiking.

Can get crowded. If you can fit into the inner harbor, even better.
