North Sound now has another Cascadia Marine Trail site! The original Oak Bay County Park site was closed after a storm damaged the campsite. Now, more than two years later, Oak Bay County Park is open for Cascadia Marine Trail camping again. Get the full scoop in the latest edition of Easy Current News or log in to the Cascadia Marine Trail guidebook and start planning a visit.

Volunteers can still sign up to help WWTA establish a new CMT camp site at Pioneer Park, nestled along the Swinomish Channel on the outskirts of the historic Town of LaConner. The work party will be followed by a ceremonial CMT launch/landing site sign installation at the Sherman Avenue boat launch, starting at 2pm with a greeting from LaConner Town Administrator John Doyle and WWTA Executive Director Julie Anderson. After the ceremony, head up to the Pioneer Park picnic shelter for a celebratory cookout. Food and beverage contributions are welcome. Contact emily@wwta.org for more details.
