Windham Bay

From the southeast side of this inner bay, a broad flat extends southward for 2 miles (3.2 km), its inland continuation lying within the valley of Chuck River.

The surrounding mountains are the same that border the south side of Endicott Arm, the peaks ranging from 3,000–5,000 feet (910–1,520 m) in altitude.

Its headwaters enter the schist band, the rocks of which are likewise exposed along the south shore of Endicott Arm.

At the head of the bay is a band of slate which appears to continue over the divide to Sanford Cove and southward up the valley of Chuck River.

West of the slate beds is a slate-greenstone belt composing the shore bluffs at the entrance of Windham Bay.

The Chuck River Wilderness, located at the head of the Bay, was established in 1990 under a directive of the United States Congress.
