Kayak Out To Jones Island In Washington To See An Island Filled With Wildlife
Kayaking is a quintessential experience for the outdoor-loving Washingtonian, and it also happens to be a perfect social distancing activity. And if you’ve ever been kayaking around the San Juan Islands, you know what an incredible and breathtaking adventure it truly is. This summer, we highly recommend kayaking out to Jones Island, a more secluded spot with abundant wildlife and plenty of places to hike or camp.
We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life. While we continue to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, please take proper precautions or add them to your bucket list to see at a later date.

The entire island is a 188-acre primitive camping park with hiking trails and rugged shoreline.
It's close enough to the main islands that you can do it in a day, but it's far enough of a paddle to give you a great workout.
The southern cove has buoys, anchorage, and an easy beach to land on.
There are four miles of trails on the island in total. While it doesn't have many amenities, it's a beautiful place to disconnect and enjoy nature.
Some of the deer may even be willing to eat out of your hand, but don't give into the temptation -- it's illegal.
The campsites are first-come, first-served, and many of them have gorgeous views like this.
Since this is turning out to be the summer of the staycation, it's a great time to embark on a new adventure such as this.
Would you go on a self-guided kayak tour of the beautiful San Juan Islands? If you’d rather leave the planning to someone else, check out this company.
