Kayaking Glimpse Lake
On a summer day that had smoky conditions in Kamloops, I used firesmoke.ca to look for smoke-free areas and I found that areas south were clearer. To get to Glimpse Lake, we first drive to Nicola Lake, then turn and drive towards Douglas Lake. At the power station, we turn left onto Lauder Road and follow it to the lake. The easiest boat launch is the first one on the north side of the lake.
It started with a light breeze down the lake, but the winds picked up as clouds blew in from the southwest. Returning was harder work.
Glimpse Lake is a quiet spot mid-week. There are a number of marshy bays to explore. On the lake were loons, a great blue heron, an osprey, geese, and some ducks. One other boat was spotted as I paddled around the shoreline in 75 minutes.
