Beginner, 1-2 Hours, 3 Miles Round Trip

Description

Launch from the Pine Street Boat Launch in Shelton and head west towards Munson Point. Follow the shore until you are pointed south and cross the inlet to Walker Park, a nice place to have a picnic. On your way back follow the south shore to Eagle Point and cross back to the launch.

Special Considerations

Hammersley Inlet, is the arm of water leading to Shelton and Oakland Bay and the only artery through which all water must flow between the Oakland Bay and the greater Puget Sound. As tides change, they force the water through this narrow, winding, shallow inlet producing erratic currents up to 5 knots.
