Sea Kayak - Little Kachess Lake

Meet at the hand launch area at Kachess Lake Campground. Parking is limited at this location, and it's also a hiking trailhead, so please consider carpooling.

Directions: From I-90 west or east, take Exit 62. Proceed north to Kachess Lake Campground. Day permit is $8 (or $4 with a Senior Pass). Exact change or check! Drive past the toll booth, turn left at the T, follow to the end of the road. You're looking for the hand launch area.

Please arrive in time for a 10 am launch (9 am suggested meeting time). Bring a lunch, snack, and plenty of water, as well as a hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, and all the usual kayak safety stuff.

The water will be cold, and the air temperature may be rather warm. If the forecast calls for hot weather, I would recommend a farmer john wetsuit if you have one (instead of a drysuit), so as to be dressed for immersion and not suffer unduly from the heat. Please feel free to contact the leaders if you have questions about clothing options.

Kachess can get wind gusts up to 25 knots. I will cancel the trip if the wind forecast is too much.

Please note the leader will be out of mobile reception for most of June 26-July 1, so please be patient-- I will respond as soon as I return to civilization!
