Blake Island Marine State Park

visited 18 April 2021

Blake Island Marine State Park is a popular island boating destination near my home. I’ve lived in this area for nearly two decades and not managed to visit it before this year. On the April day that I visited, there were people from all kinds of watercraft visiting: kayaks, sailboats, motorboats, and the Argosy tourist boat from Seattle.

I chose to kayak over from nearby Manchester.
