On Edith Lake
Edith Lake is close to town, providing quick access, but it can be a busy place for fishermen and campers. For this reason we usually paddle the lake in the off-season. On a cool and windy October day, I launched my kayak into the headwinds for two loops around the lake.
There is a long arm of the lake that was partly sheltered from the winds. The lake is shallower there so fishermen don’t often venture that way.
A side arm was completely protected from winds.
Twice around the lakeshore is about 7 km, a good outing for fall paddling.
This was Day 61 of paddling in 2020. A handful of days were left as the temperatures dropped and windy days followed.
