We popped out to Islet Lake for a late afternoon paddle recently. A rain shower gave way to bright blue skies just as we pulled in.
The staging area and boat luncheon the east side of the lake includes pit toilets, fire pits, picnic tables and a picnic shelter. The boat launch is 500 feet or so down a trail immediately behind the truck in the picture above.
There is a bit of an elevation drop as you walk towards the lake. The launch is just a small beach with a coupe of picnic tables. The lake was a bit green at the end of summer.
Usually we see a fair bit of wildlife here but today it was just waterfowl. The wind was really uneven, with calm period (shown) intermixed with a really stiff breeze (had to put camera away and paddle).

Thank-you so much for this blog. I am a new paddler with an inflatable 2 man kayak and have been reading all of your notes.
This past weekend we took a maiden voyage to Islet Lake and it was gorgeous. Great for a 2 hour tour. People were friendly and we had a great time. :)
