Golden Gardens Paddle- Child

Many Seattleites cite our region’s natural beauty and proximity to outdoor adventures as their primary motivations for living here. In fact, you don’t even need to leave the city to get world class sea kayaking. Salmon Bay, located a scenic 20 minutes north from Downtown Seattle, accesses some of the most beauiful and wildlife rich territory in the entire city. Starting from Golden Gardens Park your kayak tour will travel past Shilshole Bay Marina – mooring hundreds of yachts and sailboats – across the bay to West Point, the tip of 550-acre Discovery Park located in the Magnolia neighborhood. This natural oasis, the largest park in Seattle, boasts 2 miles of undisturbed beach and a 130 year-old lighthouse. This park is not only a refuge for the urban naturalist it also contains critical habitat for a diverse range of wildlife – Bald Eagles, Harbor Seals, Salamanders, River Otters, Ospreys, and much more. Heading into the bay, you will get an up close and personal view of the Hiram M. Chittenden Locks. Thousands of salmon find their way up the fish ladder, which provides access to their ancestral spawning grounds. Great Blue Herons, Kingfishers and Sea Lions all hang out in this area to take advantage of the migrating fish. Besides wildlife, the locks are also an exciting feat of engineering. From our vantage point, we’ll be able to see all size watercraft passing in and out of the locks.
