I paddle a circuit of lakes in the spring and summer.    Lac le Jeune can be paddled in a day, but this year i paddled the west end, including the passage under the bridge and the little lake on one day and I paddled the east end on another day.   I launched off the beach at the campground, paddled across the lake and followed the southern shoreline to the far east end of the lake.

A beautiful warm sunny day with no wind made the lake calm and the paddle was peaceful since I arrived before the power boats were on the lake.

Loons were busy protecting their chick as they fished the bays.

I paddled up the marsh channels and back.   Marsh cinquefoil was just staring to bloom.   The marshes were a quiet retreat from the summer busyness of the lake.

The paddle around the east end of the lake was 5.6 km.    I added a walk on trails to the day.   Another great day at Lac le Jeune.
