On the water

Hazards
Heavy boat traffic on Lake Washington: recreational boats, sailboats, kayaks, paddleboards, and seaplanes. Park swimming zones very busy in summer: maximum attention to swimmers. Seaplane landing paths to avoid. Winds sometimes irregular and gusty in the urban setting. Water can remain cold in spring. Respect designated kite zones.
