Cave Rock to Glenbrook

Cave Rock first place after Sand Harbor on the east shore to put in a paddleboard - about 13 miles away. It's really a boat ramp with a small little beach on the south end where you can launch a paddleboard or kayak. There's a parking lot and a bathroom, and not much else.

It opens at 6am and I got there very early to do my paddle. I was alone for this leg but I had to paddle south for about half a mile to link up with where Jenn and I turned around going north from Zephyr Cove. There were a couple kayaks out, but otherwise it was deserted. The water is so shallow that I was worried about hitting rocks on the way south.

I turned back up north and paddled back by the rock - which was a little creepy, very shadowy - and then headed north. It was a gorgeous turquoise paddle with shallow water and a few houses and lots of empty land. The only downside is that there you can hear the road for most of the paddle.

I passed Logan Shoals with a lot of beautiful rocks and turned into Glenbrook Bay before turning around. Altogether it was 7.9 miles in 2:32.
