Intermediate
Lake Washington with fresh water. Pleasant temperature in summer (16-22°C/61-72°F), cold in spring and fall (8-15°C/46-59°F). A 3/2mm wetsuit in summer, 4/3mm the rest of the year. Flat water to light chop — ideal for progression. Muddy to sandy bottom. Depth increases gradually from shore.
Kenmore Air seaplanes taking off and landing on the lake — major hazard, stay out of their flight path. Heavy boat traffic in summer (motorboats, sailboats, kayaks). Very busy public park — watch for swimmers. Wind can drop suddenly in the late afternoon, stranding riders far from shore. Muddy bottom can be difficult to walk on.
