Trail to Smuggler Cove. Hmmm. The Navionics charts on my iPhone doesn't show any Smugglers Coves on Cypress, so not sure where this goes. Guess we'll find out!

At the northeast corner of the lake another trail cuts off to the west, along the north end of the lake

A better view of the lake, apparently covered entirely by lily pads.

Trail along east side of lake heading north. At least a dozen different types of birds singing loudly along this trail, it was a bit surreal.

I must have chosen the right trail, appears to be a lake up ahead.

After a relatively easy climb you reach a junction in the trail. But no sign to Duck Lake?

At low tide, it's best to land in these rocks off to the side of Eagle Harbor, unless you prefer to get muddy.

Heading up the slough. It doesn't get any calmer than this. Thanks again NOAA for the SCA forecast!

Setting out for a day trip to Cypress for some hiking. Of course I could have just stayed the night at Doe Island, but NOAA was calling for SCA and 3-5 footers, so I made a run for it back to home port. Turned out to be a false alarm, so I'm heading back out!
