Islet Lake, (Cooking Lake Recreational Area)

August 24, 2009 Canoed Islet Lake. This was the time and place to go to see many beavers. As the canoe glided silently along the shore line a beaver, sitting on the shore was caught unaware and so we were able to view if from a few feet away. Also observed a Great Blue Heron land in a tree and perch there. The water levels in this lake are lower than I have ever seen them.

This was a very leisurely paddle.

Total distance = 4.17 km. , Moving time 1 hr. 34 min., Stopped time 12 min., Maximum elevation 2447 feet.
