Trip

Sea Kayak - Billy Frank Jr. Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge

We’ll Launch in the afternoon from Luhr boat ramp, hand railing the Southern shore line, we’ll paddle McAllister Creek, until reaching I-5. We’ll attempt to paddle approximately four nautical miles. If we get to the next road that would be an accomplishment but it’s an adventure, right we should see lots of game maybe who knows who else hasn’t been there.
