Johnny's Lake

Back in June, I ventured out to Johnny's Lake. The entry point is a bit tough but you can follow the directions here. The entry was pretty good. A bit of algae at the edge but a sandy/gravely bottom beyond that. The bank was muddy and slippery.

I went to the right and paddled around the two big islands on the northern part of the lake.

Lots of birds that were very skittish.

Maybe because of this giant eagles nest on the northern island?

Then I cut south and looped around the long island on the southern edge of the lake. Lots of train action  on the south shore (main line runs here) plus a tonne of birds.

Then over to the eastern edge past the main set of cabins, and back to the public access.

Overall, great paddle. The water was calm, no boats, not too smelly or green (yet...), and lots to see.
