| Launch from the
Allyn
Waterfront Park. Avoid low tide as the area will get quite
muddy between the shore and water. If you do launch at low
tide use the dock. Paddle from
Allyn down Case Inlet past Reach Island, you can paddle either side
of the island, to Stretch Island. Plan a rest stop at
Stretch Island and plan on visiting the
Mosquito Fleet Museum
which
is located on Stretch Island along the shore on south side.
The museum has an amazing amount of memorabilia from the fleet.
Continue to paddle around Stretch Island back to Allyn. An
alternative to stopping at the museum is to stop at
Stretch Point
State park which is located on the north tip of Stretch Island.
Tides are no issue here.
This is a quiet area with lots of
homes along the coast and is a relaxing paddle.
When the tide is low the passage
between Stretch and the Peninsula will not be passable. I
recommend you plan on arriving at high tide or 1-2 hour before low
tide. If you do that plan on spending 2-3 hours on shore
waiting for the tide to return. |
