Paddle from Jack Block Park up Duwamish to Duwamish Waterway Park and Return
We headed up Fri/Sat to climb due to weather coming in, had a wonderful climb although the view was cloudy!
Everyone made the lake and back to the cars without incident, despite the wet, humid weather. There was some confusion with my attachment with the directions, my fault.
