Eleanor Cove is a coastal feature located on the eastern side of Yakutat Bay in Alaska. It is situated near the entrance to Chicago Harbor, a well-protected, steep-sided cove for small craft just northeast of Eleanor Cove. The cove is part of a complex, indented coastline formed by islands, including Knight Island and Tla-xagh Island, which provide some protection. The area is noted for recreational boating and subsistence activities, with the relatively protected waters of the many bays, channels, and coves being popular. For paddlers, the primary considerations are the exposure to open waters of Yakutat Bay and the potential for significant tidal currents and weather. The cove is adjacent to a 500-yard-wide ridge extending southeast from Knight Island to Tla-xagh Island, which provides a good anchorage in 14 fathoms for moderate-draft vessels, indicating deeper water in the approach. The chart data uses Mean Lower Low Water as its datum, confirming a tidal environment. The broader area is known for active glaciers, with Turner Glacier and Hubbard Glacier discharging icebergs into Disenchantment Bay to the north; ice can flow into the area and become troublesome. Small-craft facilities exist in the greater Yakutat area, including a state-owned small-craft and seaplane float in Shipyard Cove off Yakutat Roads, though no services are available there. The waters are used for subsistence sealing, indicating the presence of harbor seals. The aesthetic is that of a remote Alaskan fjord coastline, with steep-sided coves and forested islands. Paddlers must be entirely self-sufficient, prepared for cold water year-round, sudden weather changes, and potential iceberg hazards drifting from the north.
