On a sunny September day I arrived early at Leighton Lake.    I launched the kayak from the campground boat launch in calm conditions.

There were lots of ducks on the lake and a few fishermen, but it was quiet, peaceful, and scenic.

Once around the lake was 3.4 km.    On this day I secured the boat, then also hiked the Leighton Lake Trail, a 7 km signed route through the Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park grasslands, a recommended route.

This is a great choice for a late summer or early fall paddle.
