Description After crossing on the ferry, we will drive to Manson’s Landing Lagoon and take advantage of the low mid-day tide to explore the lagoon and islands. We will then take a trail along the lagoon and through the forest to Hague Lake. We will follow the beach and roads to the Coop, where we will likely stop for lunch. After exploring the Manson’s Landing Community Hall and museum, we will take the trail back to the lagoon through the forest. There will likely be enough time to visit Smelt Bay and walk on the beach there.
Meeting Place Heriot Bay ferry terminal to Cortes.
Departure Time 9:05 ferry; come very early, shortly after 8:00, to avoid the overload.
Difficulty
Easy

Dogs? Okay
Notes: Bring shoes or sandals that can get wet for the lagoon exploration. Bring lunch and snacks, although food is available at the coop. We expect to return on the 3:50 ferry.
