| 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 creek just east of Maud Island. We will put in at the Leishmans Rd shore access by 1000 am and paddle north towards Maud Island. It is about a 1 hr paddle to the old village site of Kawstin at the outflow of Morte Lake creek. 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 | Shore access at Leishmans Rd |
| Departure Time | 1000 on the water; meet at 0930 |
| Difficulty |
Moderate depending on weather and currents. |
| Costs | None |
| 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. |
