Trip length will vary based on launch point, with a minimum length of 5 miles. Trip duration will vary by launch point, if you walk the trail on Sandfly Island or if strong winds or unfavorable tides are present. If you decide to stop at Sandfly Island, please use the beach area next to the dock, as the dock can be slippery and dangerous. Always tie up your boat.
