Case Inlet

Trip

Sea Kayak - Case Inlet

Winter exploration of Case Inlet. We'll poke into Rocky Bay and Vaughn Bay and paddle by Stretch and Reach Islands.

  • Sea Kayak III
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 16.1 nm
  • Maximum Wind: 20 kts
  • Maximum Waves: 2 ft
  • Maximum Currents: 1 kts
  • Pace: 3

We will launch at Allyn Waterfront Park. Be ready to be on the water by 9am.

There is a fee for parking. I believe it is $5.00 and can be paid by credit card.

We'll launch from Allyn and cross the inlet to explore the east shore. We will try to find the petroglyphs at Victor and then explore Rocky Bay and Vaughn Bay before crossing to the southerly tip of Stretch Island. From there we'll follow the west shore back to Allyn. 

Planned stops are at Hayley State Park on the east shore and at Stretch Point State Park. 

Please be prepared for winter weather.
