This three-sided shelter is on a first-come, first-served basis, and for those taking advantage of the amazing fishing, wildlife spotting, and unhindered exploring around Wolverine Creek, this spot is a good resting point. McDonald Lake Shelter Site Lookout can be found north of Yes Bay near the outlet and pristine blue waters of McDonald Lake. From there, you can hike-in one mile on the McDonald Lake Trail to access the shelter.
