On the Water

Steilacoom to Sequalitchew Creek

7-10 nm round trip, Difficulty: Sea Kayak II+

Paddle from from Sunnyside Beach, Salters Point Park, or the ferry dock in Steilacoom to Sequalitchew Creek Beach in DuPont.

Ketron Island

6.4 nm Circumnavigation, Difficulty: SEa Kayak II+

Because Ketron Island is privately owned, there are no landing sites on the island. Possible lunch or break stops can be found at spots along the main shoreline. Solo Point provides a great lunch stop and Cole Point works well for a break on the leg south. The current through Cormorant Passage experiences an ebb but minimal to weak flood, and a tidal race can exist south of Lyle Point on Anderson Island in a flood.
