    Lake Union to Washinton Park Arboretum paddle

     Live Maps route of Lake Union to Washington Park Arboretum

    On June 16th, I had some family members in town for my brother's highschool graduation.  His graduation wasn't till 5:30pm so in the morning my Dad, Tayler (1/2 brother) and Jeremy (brother in law) headed up to Lake Union.  I brought my kayak along and they rented a double for my Dad and Taylor and a single for Jeremy from NWOC and we headed out.  I've paddled out to the Arboretum once before with my brother but didn't know the area very well so we ended up only seeing a small portion of the park.  This time we wound our way through its waterways, saw a couple of Blue Heron, a turtle and a couple of bald eagles.  The weather was nice except for the stiff wind that made us really work to get back across Lake Union to NWOC.
