Kopachuck is in South Puget Sound south of Gig Harbor about 8 ish miles. Tiny Raft Island nearly dries out during lower tides in summer allowing walking access from the main section of the park. Easily accessed from Highway 16 & Tacoma Narrows, the park also has a Cascadia Marine Trail campsite, day use, and is a great place to paddle to all year round.
You can launch from Fox Island, Horse Head Inlet, or from other points north of the park. For a longer trip, consider paddling in from Tacoma using the flood current. See more info in the book, Trip #7.
Support the Washington Water Trails Association and the Cascadia Marine Trail. The wwta works to create and protect access for paddlers on Puget Sound as well as provide an extensive network of over 60 paddle-in camping sites - www.wwta.org
