Glimpse Lake Kayaking
On a mid-August day, I drove down to Nicola Lake, then turned left on to the Douglas Lake Road. About halfway up the road, I turned left onto Lauder Road and followed it to Glimpse Lake. there are two Rec Sites on the lake and either one would be fine to park and launch a boat. Both were empty on this weekday morning. My preferred launch, though, is an access road and launch on the first turn before the community of Glimpse Lake. there is a good launch there and lots of parking. On this day there was no other vehicles, and when I paddled the lake, no other boats on the lake.
The lake was calm and all was quiet on the lake.
The lake has a number of large shallow bays and by this date, there was lots of aquatic growth, but I was able to paddle the whole shoreline, going around bullrushes, cattails, milfoil, bladderwort, smartweed, and arrowroot.
A paddle around the shoreline is about 6 km, which takes me about 90 minutes. A recommended lake to paddle. More information can be found by clicking On the Lakes on the Menu Bar of this website.
