Sea Kayak - Vendovi Island

A delightful paddle from Young County Park on the north shore of Guemes Island to Vendovi Island, part of the San Juan Preservation Trust. This little-known Island is only open to explore 6 months of the year and has over a mile of trails. Plan on some fun on-the-water activities. Equivalency students have priority, but all paddlers are welcome.
