The low-elevation grassland lakes of the Interior get long days of sunshine and hot conditions and it is common to have algae multiply in these spots.   Trapp Lake was like pea soup near the end of September, but I paddled the lake anyway.

Though the lake was green and uninviting, the scenery around the lake was wonderful, and on a calm day, the reflections were perfect.

Most of the experience was captured in video:

Trapp has a number of pros (scenic, close to town, easy access, larger lake) and cons (highway noise and algae), but I enjoy paddling the lake, and in the future I will do that in the spring and skip late summer and early fall.

A Trapp Lake information page will be developed over the winter.

This was Day 77 of paddling in 2022.
