Trip Overview

These two bays (Taylor Bay and Jake Fork Bay) are right next to each other. The best place to put in is at Taylor Bay campground (when open) or at the end of Forest Service Road 323 (see map). Both bays each have a creek to explore. The bays seemed popular for fishing and many ducks and geese were present. This was a very fun trip for our family of four. It took us 2.5 hours to kayak both bays and the two creeks in them.

Gear Notes
