SUMMARY:Paddle Bainbridge: Eagle Harbor to Fay Bainbridge Park
DESCRIPTION:Paddle Bainbridge is a 8.5 mile fully supported day paddle with views of the Cascade and Olympic Mountain ranges\, the Seattle Skyline\, Mount Rainier\, Puget Sound islands and wildlife\, this trip is one of our favorites! \nPaddlers  may use their own equipment or rent a kayak or a stand-up paddleboard from us. If you rent from us\, we’ll bring all the equipment to you on the day of the event. Kayak and Paddleboard Rentals are available and will be delivered and picked up at the event for your convenience. \n*Paddlers should expect a decent amount of physical activity and excursion. We classify paddle Bainbridge as suitable for all skill levels since we mitigate risk and conditions are generally calm. Paddlers still need to be able to paddle for up to 4 hours at a time. \nNot able to make it this time\, but still want to have some fun out on the water? Click here for our Summer Calendar! \n\nWhat’s Included:\n\nSnack Pack and Water\nProfessional Guides & Safety Boaters on the water\nShuttle\n$5 donation to Kitsap Peninsula Water Trails\n\nWhat to Expect \n\nThis year we will be paddling from Eagle Harbor to Fay Bainbridge Park (south to north) but this could change with weather.\nThe shuttle will take place before the paddle.\nYou will be paddling 8.6 miles. You can paddle about as fast as you can walk so that’s about 3 hours paddle time.\n*Paddlers should expect a decent amount of physical activity and exercise.\nWe have very little tide variance this day so we will not be helped by any current as in other paddles. \nWind is expected to be light but we will have some wind waves later in the day and freighter wakes.\nYou will be paddling close to shore but conditions will be exposed so bring some warm clothes.\nWe are providing a snack and water but you will want to bring more food like energy bars

Twenty plus years and thousands of hours and hundreds of volunteers and organizations it became a reality. John will be on the trip this year. \nIn June 2014\, the Kitsap Peninsula Water Trail was designated a National Water Trail by the National Park Service\, one of only a handful in the country at the time and the first salt water trail. Our 371 mile trail encompasses all of the Kitsap Peninsula and is one of the most spectacular paddling destinations in the world. Come out and join us as we celebrate the wonderful\, majestic and diverse natural resources the peninsula has to offer.
