This paddle is primarily for folks participating in the International Coast Cleanup on 9-19.

We'll paddle from the boat ramp at the campground to Ericson's Bay where we will have dinner before we paddle back to the campground.

Bring a headlamp, dry suit, and dinner.

1430 Lake Ozette Campground (Ozette Ranger Station)

Directions to the ranger station and to the Lake Ozette campground from Port Angeles: Take hwy 101 to Sappho.  (Don't blink.  Sappho is just west of mile post 206 and bear creek and the Hungry Bear Cafe.)  At Sappho turn right onto hwy 113. Hwy 113 will merge into Hwy 112. Take Hwy 112 through Clallam Bay and past Sekiu. About 2.5 miles beyond Sekiu turn left on Hoko Ozette Road. Continue on Hoko Ozette Road to the ranger station at the end of the road. It will take about 2 hrs to get from Port Angeles to the ranger station. (Don’t be tempted to take a right on hwy 112 just out of Port Angeles – it is the sort-of-scenic-but-definitely-slow route.)

If you are using a GPS or Google Maps (or a similar mapping service), you can aim at 21261 Hoko-Ozette Road, Clallam Bay, Washington.
