Overall a great trip. Very scenic for a light 3 mile round trip paddle, and launching from Arcadia Point enabled us to also go past Steamboat Island which was interesting. Light currents and winds, being quite sheltered. A great option for those that are newer to kayaking. Overnight camping is available on Hope Island Marine State Park, both in Cascadia Marine Trail Campsites, and several more general campsites away from the beach. Popular route, and we saw about 20 other kayakers just in the half day we took for this trip.
