2/19/2023 - Nehalmen Bay, Nehalem Bay State Park, Nehalem, OR

Time: 2.83 hours

Distance: 9.09 miles

We put into Nehalem Bay from the boat ramp at Nehalem Bay State Park, paddled directly across the bay, down the edge past Wheeler, under the bridge up to Nehalem then returned around the other side making a loop around most of the bay. The day was overcast but there was no precipitation, fairly light winds and very few boats making for a pleasant trip.
