Story:
I'm fortunate to live only 5 minutes from here. A loop paddle over three nautical miles makes a great training ground for paddling exercise and preparation for kayak races such as the Deception Pass Dash, in December. Tumwater Falls at the South end of the lake is spectacular during heavy rainfall. Historically, this is one of the earliest settlements on the Puget Sound, and flour and timber mills were near the falls here. With a GPS my 3.7 mile loop takes me around 45 minutes with an average speed of 4.6 mph. www.GAguides.net
