Sea Kayak - Steamboat Slough

Try to catch a dry day before the rain comes in. Let's paddle up Steamboat Slough at high tide.

  • Sea Kayak III
  • Moderate
  • Mileage: 13.0 nm
  • Maximum Wind: 15 kts
  • Maximum Waves: 2 ft
  • Maximum Currents: 1 kts
  • Pace: 2,5

 We will try to launch in the south bay, and park our cars in the visitor parking (cheaper than the vehicle with trailer area).  Not sure what the cost of parking is but there is a parking kiosk as you enter the launch area. There is a restroom at the launch.

Meet at the Everett 10th St. boat launch at 845am and launch at 930am.    Plan to be off the water around 400pm.
