I have launched from here a handful of times. It has always been a lovely experience with no hassle.
Our usual route is to head towards the Seward park peninsula. Here is some text from the park's site: Within the Seattle city limits, Seward park boasts 300 acres of beautiful forest land - home to eagles' nests, old growth forest, a 2.4 mile bike and walking path, an amphitheater, a native plant garden, an art studio, miles of hiking trails, and more.
So we like to skirt the peninsula on which the park sits, and this allows us some poeple-watching, AND allows the walkers and hikers and bikers some kayak-watching.
We have seen float planes, speed boats, water skiers and other water enthusiasts out here.
A nice and easy alternative is to paddle over to Mercer Island, which takes less than 20 minutes from one edge of the Seward park peninsula.
