You have the old version of the Trail Bandit Map. Go to his site http://www.trailbandit.org and you can download the new map with the entire island free or get a hard copy for $2.00

Thank you for your information. My Trail Bandit map only goes as far as Mardenboro point, and does not include Elk Bay. So on our next try we will attempt to go around the point, unless there is a way to find out the GPS coordinates for the beginning of the trail up from Elk Bay. We saw a pontoon type craft that seemed to be doing a tour, we should have flagged them down. Thanks, John

A Trail Bandit map and a GPS or better yet a GPS with the trail bandit map loaded into it. Alternatively, although I’ve never tried, I’m fairly certain that going around the point would work fine.

While on St. John a couple of weeks ago, a friend and I tried twice to find the trail over the hill to Water Creek Bay. We easily found the wrecked boat, but could not find any ribbons and after going into the woods against the shoulder of the hill, found no path that we could determine would take us up and over the hill.
We did enjoy seeing a part of St. John we had never been to, but we really wanted to see the cannon as the crowning acheivment of this trip. Any suggestions? Is it possible to go all the way around the point to where the cannon is? Thanks, John
