• Sea kayaker destination

  What a great little park — not yet over-run with tourists, and just big enough to offer places to explore on foot and on water. Great for a weekend getaway. You can paddle up the cove or out and around the corner to the broader water and beaches down the Sound. What’s your favorite?

• ORV & mt bike trails

  The ORV and mountain bike trail system in Tahuya State Forest is amazing and extensive. What are your favorites? What are the best times for mountain bikers to go?
