There's several ways to get to Kopachuck State Park and it's wonderful Cascadia Marine Trail campsite. In this image, a stand up paddler is headed east towards the Tacoma Narrows on Hale Passage (Hale's Beer named after that?). The bridge connects Kitsap Peninsula to Towhead Island and Fox Island. There's a great launch on Towhead just before you reach Fox Island, also a boat ramp.
Currents can get going on Hale Passage, learn to use them to your advantage. In this case you'd want a flood to push ya a bit west towards Green Point and north Kopachuck State Park. If you know the paddler in the photo give me a holler, I'd like to send her a print.
