Next summer, on an nice summer day, go down to the Canoe House and rent a canoe, and paddle over to the Arboretum. Take a loaf of stale bread. You will be surrounded by dozens of ducks, lots of fun. I think right now, there is a lot of construction, so you may need to wait until they are done with that. Also, Gasworks Park is very nice to visit. And some sunny weekend, take a ferry over to Bremerton, walk around a bit, and then come back. Don't need a car. Just a pretty ride, and not very expensive.

I grew up feeding the ducks bread and it was a lot of fun, but I found out it's reeally bad for them. They'll come up to you anyway looking for a treat. The canoe is a great idea. Last time I rented one there, a family of baby ducks folowed the boat.

A better treat would be cracked corn, or even just rolled oats, which at least float. But I agree, bread is probably a poor choice for ducks. Hey, a bag of rolled oats is easy :). And the ducks are just so memorable and fun :).

DO NOT FEED BREAD TO DUCKS!

If you are in a canoe, surrounded by ducks, what treat do you recommend? I have heard cracked corn is good, but I'm not sure it would float.
