Saddlebag Island

    Like an open sign on a stormy night, Saddlebag is there when you need it. It's a very nice place to stop for lunch with an easy shoreline hike.  You may spend the night on shore in one of a dozen or more campsites or on your boat in the little cove.  If the cove is full just move out a little further and anchor in twenty feet.  Another of what I call the "drive by islands" Saddlebag gets overlooked as cruisers drive by to bigger names, but more than once we have been caught with nightfall fast approaching and ducked in to avoid navigating in the dark. The moderately steep gravel beach is dinghy friendly and there is no float. The beach front campfire pit is so close you can yell to the boat for more smores.
