1/15/2022 - Nehalem Bay, Tillamook County Boat Launch, Nehalem, OR

Time: 3.08 hours

Distance: 9.92 miles

 

We put into Nehalem Bay at the Tillamook County Boat Launch on a calm and pleasant day. It was near high tide when we put in so we went around the back side of the islands in the bay, made our way along the North edge then out towards the bay entrance before turning back, crossing the bay and making our way along the South edge. Traffic was very light and the wind was almost non-existent making for a very pleasant paddle.
