One
of
my
favorite
parks
in
Thurston
County.
Sometimes
we
bike
the
Chehalis
Western
Trail
to
get
here
(be
sure
to
bring
a
lock
since
bikes
themselves
aren't
allowed
on
the
Woodard
Bay
trail),
other
times
we
drive
&
bring
our
kayaks!
The
trails
are
wonderful
any
time
of
the
year,
but
the
water
is
the
best
in
summer-
we
like
to
paddle
out
in
the
evening
against
the
incoming
tide
in
Henderson
inlet
then
head
west
around
the
point
and
into
Chapman
inlet.
As
you
leave
Henderson
inlet
you'll
pass
the
cormorant
rookery
on
the
right,
and
sometimes
you'll
see
seals
on
the
old
train
trestle
as
you
head
into
Chapman
(pups
sometimes
swim
right
up
to
you
but
don't
touch
them-
it's
illegal).
The
water
here
is
slow
&
easy
(as
long
as
it's
a
calm
day-
not
so
easy
if
it's
windy!)
great
way
to
cool
down
on
a
summer
evening.
Good
spot
for
beginners
or
for
a
scenic,
lazy,
relaxing
paddle.
