Stretching along the sweeping waters of Lake Washington, Log Boom Park is where the call of open water meets the welcoming edge of forest in Kenmore, Washington. Here, WhatsSup Stand Up Paddle & Kayak invites adventurers—whether new to paddling or seasoned enthusiasts—to engage directly with the river’s pulse and the lake’s calm expanses.

Launching your board or kayak from Log Boom Park, you enter a dynamic realm where currents dare you forward and the shoreline shifts with each paddle stroke. The setting sun throws golden hues on towering evergreens, while gentle ripples accompany the steady push against the water’s ever-present flow. The park’s access points are practical, with well-maintained boat launches that ease getting on and off the water.

For those planning their adventure, the water routes range from short loops around Log Boom to longer excursions toward the Kenmore waterfront and surrounding inlets. Distances vary typically between 3 to 7 miles, flat water mostly, with occasional breezes and subtle waves that keep your balance engaged but not overwhelmed. The terrain onshore is a contrast—soft sandy beaches, pebbled edges, and pocketed woodland paths that encourage quiet exploration or a well-earned break.

Timing your paddle early in the morning or late afternoon balances calmer water with the best light, avoiding the midday sun that can intensify reflections off the lake’s surface. Hydration is essential here; carry water in a secure container to sip between strokes. Footwear needs to be flexible yet protective—water shoes or sandals with good grip avoid slips off slippery docks or rocky shores.

Alongside paddling, the surrounding forest trails offer accessible hikes and places to stretch legs, ranging from easy flat paths to slightly elevated viewpoints. The blend of water and land demands respectful attention—this adventure unfolds with nature fiercely itself, pushing back when the wind rises and welcoming you when the lake smooths.

Whether you arrive solo or with group enthusiasm, WhatsSup Stand Up Paddle & Kayak at Log Boom Park provides rentals, lessons, and guided tours to match skill level and curiosity. There’s practical advice and support at every step, helping you push your limits gently, stay safe, and absorb the vivid natural canvas around you.

This is no passive landscape but a living playground, one that rewards preparation and curiosity equally. The water whispers challenges to balance and endurance, the forests keep their cool shade, and every paddle stroke moves you deeper into an interactive adventure worth planning—and embracing with clear eyes and ready hands.
