Kayaking to Goat Island's secret WWI military fort!
Kayaking // Goat Island 17.1
Day trip kayaking from LaConner to Goat Island in the beautiful Puget Sound! Technically in Skagit Bay, Goat Island is home to Fort Whitman, built in the early 1900's, it was part of the "Harbor Defense of Puget Sound" which includes the more well know Fort Casey. It's a great paddle as long as you pay attention to the tides.

Kayaking // Diablo Lake 18.1 Day trip kayaking Diablo Lake in the North Cascades in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, in my Wilderness Systems 145 kayak.There's a brief review of the campsite Buster Brown which is boat in only camping. Overall its a great kayaking lake with a couple great stops for camping.
Its gorgeous there, a pristine example of the beauty of WA. I do slightly disagree, I believe Blanca lake is prettier. Just now noticed theyre both Spanish names for some reason though🤔
Lost me the coke
I'm not a big soda drinker, but it was a cold morning and it was mixed with just a little anti-freeze to warm you up from the inside.
Sculling draw will be a great way to parallel park.
Good call! I'll have to practice that. th-cam.com/video/WJt_8GxmHu0/w-d-xo.html
Do you know If you can access lake Diablo from the campground entry point with your own kayak- even if you’re not camping there?
Yes, you can park at the Colonial Creek Campground parking lot and use the boat launch or launch from the breach without a problem even if you're not camping. It's an amazing paddle... just be sure to time your paddle right, that afternoon wind will give you a workout coming back.
What kind of PFD is that?
Its a Onyx MoveVent Dynamic Paddle Sports Life Vest. Amazon has it $70 tinyurl.com/2yzmkdnb
I had no idea that this place existed! So cool! I need to check it out. Great video 👍
Hey Wanderlust, its a nice little hidden find not too many people know about. There's unofficial campsite on the south end with a huge gathering area and about 10 tent sites that overlook Skagit Bay. Definitely worth checking out. Big fan of your channel by the way!
We were just there yesterday, lake has kinda lost its color but it was warm in the sun. We paddled from Colonial to thunder point. So beautiful up there!
This past weekend was really nice for a paddle. Thanks for watching.
you mean it wasn't turquoise? That's the whole reason I want to see it tbh...is it a permanent color change?
footage 5.13 (ramp on right side from you) is this ross lake ferry landing , are you alowed to go past that all the way to the dam? th
You cant paddle all the way to the damn, but if you get off that dock at 5:13 you can hike up to the damn or there's a phone there and you can call a guy to bring his flatbed down and portage you and your kayak over to Ross Lake for I think $20... not too sure if that's seasonal or not.
beautiful video, love that place. What did you use to record it? thx
i can relate so much pulling up that receiver LOL and feeling like ah crap when it wont go down. Enjoyed that. I woulda pulled it up as well.
How long did it take you to get to Buster Brown?
This is definitely where I wanna go on vacation.
I can't wait to get up there... looks so beautiful
Oh man Dante....been there many times but never kayak. Can't wait.
wow that looks beautiful!
