Borrow and Allen Island Paddle






Just another winter day in the Puget Sound ! Today the temps were in the low 50's with a little hazy sunshine. Three of us launched from Washington Park (which is close to Anacortes, WA.) and paddled down along the west side of Burrows Island. We stopped at the abandoned light house then proceded south down along the west side of Allen Island. From Allen we ventured down and around Williamson Rocks which is protected and is part of the San Juan Islands National Wildlife Refuge and Wilderness Area. There we saw lounging seals, eagles and many species of birds. Be aware the currents can make paddling in this area!
