About Punchbowl Lake Shelter Site
This three-sided shelter is located at the end of the Punchbowl Lake trail. This area supports a variety of birds and wildlife, and offers some of the most spectacular scenery in Misty Fiords. Steep granite cliffs, glacially-carved valleys and dense rainforests make this a beautiful and popular destination.
