Escape Plan:
Lake Union is considered a beginner paddling adventure but appeals to the experienced as well. Who wouldn’t like to paddle around and soak up the magnificent views of downtown Seattle, or poke in and around the many coves populated by moored ships and houseboats? You'll enjoy seeing the Space Needle from the middle of the lake or watching and listening to the float planes take off and land. We launch from down town Seattle and paddle north out of Lake Union through Portage Bay and the Montlake Cut, and explore the west side of Lake Washington and the Washington Park Arboretum. The Arboretum is an extraordinary urban paddling destination, with narrow waterways that wind through wetlands teeming with wildlife. Your naturalist guide interprets the surrounding flora and fauna and shares the local natural history all while spotting for the birds of the arboretum. It's definitely a wild paddling experience right in the middle of the city.

*** Maps and directions to your next destination will be given to each escapist.
