Six hiking friends were encouraged by one ringleader to try something new this past hot August. Like most new things, there was excitement mixed with anxiety when our ringleader wanted to try kayaking at Deception Pass State Park.
No need for hesitation - we beginning kayakers had the most fun! We went on a little kayak tour through Anacortes Kayak Tours. By the way, they are the best! Fun, qualified guides who are also entertaining, have a great sense of humor, and along with your friends make your first time a treasured memory.
The scenery is breath taking, and the new perspective, gliding along on the water surface, is heartening, tranquil, and energizing all at once. We were three and three in two separate kayaks. Cooperation, collaboration, and companionship with great friends on a sunny afternoon. And we all stayed dry, except for our own playful splashes!
After a few hours out on the water, we were reluctant to end our time. We all resolved to do another tour in 2014 for a full day, or overnight.
Fortunately although our time on the water was over, our fun was not! We headed over to the State Park trails where there happened to be a Centennial party that weekend! Rangers to meet, treats to eat, trails to explore, and also lake shores.
I've heard that especially in winter months the water can be very treacherous, but no deception on our summer visit - just an honest and forthright great time!
Dip a paddle in and get your feet wet next summer . . . .
