We will meet at 8 AM to be ready for a 9 AM launch.
We will launch at Enatai Beach Park in Bellevue, cross over to Mercer Island and paddle counterclockwise around the island. The lake should have little other boat traffic in April and our route should provide a relaxed tour of the south Lake Washington lakescape. There will be opportunities for rest stops at parks along the way.
