| Paddling Dewatto River |
Dewatto Bay isn't really in the book, but is just outside of the map on Pg 135. About six miles north of
Union and across from
Hoodsport, it's a protected cove tucked into the eastern shore of
Hood Canal south of
Seabeck. Crystal clear water allows for great sea life viewing (see
Lions Mane Jellyfish on previous post), and warm water in summer makes it a great spot to gunkhole and swim without a wetsuit.
A winding creek with multiple channels empties into the bay and is a great spot to explore. Several homes on stilts and some only accessed by the water or walking in align the shorelines north and south of the bay.

Recommended Access:
Rent a SUP or kayak for
Union Paddle & Row (
Hood Canal Marina) or hire
Captain Lee Geist take you there with your paddle gear. His boat is moored at
Alderbrook Resort in Summer and is available for private trips on the
Canal. He also offers
SUP tours of the bay.
