The island presents a primitive paddling destination with no developed facilities on site.

Blake Island's position within this region provides access to surrounding marine environments characteristic of Southeast Alaska, where paddlers may encounter tidewater glaciers, fjords, and opportunities to observe local wildlife from the water.
Visitors planning a paddle to Blake Island should prepare thoroughly for remote conditions and check current tide tables and weather patterns specific to the Wrangell area. The absence of facilities underscores the importance of carrying adequate supplies and maintaining strong navigation skills in this remote Alaskan setting.
