Throughout the summer, Metro Parks offers kayak rentals right on Owen Beach in Point Defiance Park. Explore gorgeous Commencement Bay, with Mount Rainier as the backdrop, and maybe meet with some local harbor seals, or even one of the humpback whales that occasionally make appearances. Metro Parks provides the kayaks (singles or doubles), paddles, some basic instruction, and life preservers. You just bring the sunscreen, some drinking water, and a sense of adventure.
