| Description | According to Joy Inglis’s “Petroglyphs of Quadra Island” there are several petroglyphs located along Quadra’s west shore at the outflow of Morte Lake Stream just east of Maud Island. We will put in at the Lieshmans Rd shore access by 1000 am and paddle north towards Maude Island. It is about a 1 hr paddle to the old village site of Kawstin at the outflow of Morte Lake Stream. Depending on the amount of time spent here we may or may not paddle another 30 minutes into Maud Island and perhaps hike to the Seymour Narrows view point. |
| Meeting Place | 0930 at Lieshmans Road Shore Access (Whalebone Cove) |
| Departure Time | On the water by 1000 hrs |
| Difficulty |
Moderate depending on weather. Currents will be a factor. |
| Costs | Vehicle fuel |
| Trip limits | 8 |
| Dogs? | No |
| Notes: | The tides/currents will be a factor. In order to view the petroglyphs I am planning our arrival for low tide with less attention to what the current will be doing. Poor weather and/or wind will mean this trip will be cancelled. All participants must be equipped for ocean paddling in cooler weather – required equipment as per club guidelines (https://qioutdoorclub.files.wordpress.com/2018/07/paddling-guidelines-aug2018.pdf) and appropriate clothing. I will email to each participant the petroglyph information relevant to the location. Bring lunch, hot drinks, extra warm layers and something to sit on. |
