Waters of the Hood Canal
with Olympic Mountains in the background as viewed from near Seabeck on the
eastern shore.
Hood Canal stretches more than 70 miles
through Washington’s pristine forestlands and is a bastion for outdoor
recreation and nature viewing. Towns like
Union,
Potlatch,
Hoodsport,
Brinnon and
Quilcene offer the traveler a
wide assortment of accommodations, from RV
parks to bed and breakfast cabins in secluded settings. Camping facilities
also are available in state parks and privately operated campgrounds.
Hood Canal’s attractions are plentiful: Sea
kayaking is a popular sport off shore from the town of Union, where
80-degree summers help to warm the waters at the southern end of the canal.
Sport fishing for cutthroat, spinrays, kokanees and rainbow trout is
available at many of the lakes in the area.
Port Gamble, North
America’s longest running company-operated mill town offers a unique glimpse
into the area’s historic beginnings. Now a National Historic Landmark, the
mill town has been restored to its 19th century décor. Hoodsport Winery,
which has been in operation in Hoodsport since 1978, hosts seasonal events
and highlights award-winning wines.
Of course, there is no better way to experience the scenery of
Hood
Canal than from the air. Seaplane tours can be chartered through the Alderbrook
Resort in Union and feature spectacular vistas as far away as Seattle.
Alderbrook Resort offers fine dining and an 18-hole golf course with
breathtaking views of the Olympic mountain range, along with upscale
accommodations and shopping for the selective traveler.
