The Duck Pond is a amazing property located off Scenic View hwy 112 bypass on the San Juan de Fuca Strait. Its positioned on its own large protected freshwater Duck Pond estuary & Freshwater Bay beach at the Elwha River Mouth. You have spectacular seasonal views of the snow capped Olympic mountains, sweeping Freshwater Bay coastline, the newly formed black sand beaches, driftwood, shipping lanes & Canada.
Its ever changing black sand beaches & spectacular weather, when all else may be overcast & gray, attracted us to this property as well. You never get board at the Duck Pond because there are tons of things to do right outside your door year round, or just stay inside & read a good book. Outdoors there are long walks along historic well known Place Road, beach walks, surfing, body boarding, wind surfing, canoeing, kayaking, rowing, crabbing, fishing, beach combing, driftwood structure building, bird watching, river walks, hikes on nearby Olympic Discovery Trail, Hurricane Ridge, trips to Crescent Lake, Sol Doc, Hoh Rain Forest, Salt Creek, Lyre Creek, Neah Bay, Cape Flattery, Lake Ozette, western beaches like Rialto, Ruby & beaches 1-4 to name just a few, are all within a few mintues to an hour or so away off either hwy 112 or hwy 101.
Victoria, Vancouver Island BC is right across the channel by way of a 90 minute ferry ride from downtown Port Angeles, which is only 10-15 minutes away by car. Easy shopping & great restaurants, bars, cider, beer & wine tasting are also found in town or just 15 minutes further due east in Sequim.
