Mayatan Lake

In late June, I took a neighbour out to Mayatan Lake to try kayaking after work. The launch was busy with a group of canoeists as well as some folks dropping in fishing boats.


The water in the western basin was in great shape and we had a lovely paddle around.
 

We saw about 12 beavers out and about, including a bunch kits.


We decided we'd try the eastern basin. I had heard the channel was impassable earlier in the spring due to the water level being low.


It was possible to get through and I only scraped once, near the eastern end.


The eastern basin was very slimy right at the edge.


Things cleared up as we got into deeper parts.




Overall, a nice paddle and good place to learn. Coming back, he was paddling like a pro!
