Sullivan Lake is a fine recreational lake on the Knouff Lake Road.    We can launch a kayak or canoe from the Recreation Site on the west side of the lake.     There is also a hand launch in the community of Knouff Lake.    A paddle around the entire lake is about 5 km, but we can paddle most of the lake, avoiding most of the private homes and marshy shallow bays in just about an hour.     On a pleasant June day I launched into the lake and paddled a clockwise loop.    There was only one other boat on the lake on this weekday morning.

There was an osprey circling overhead.    Loons were keeping an eye on a loon chick while an eagle watched them from a tree nearby.   Ducks and ducklings paddled along the shoreline.    There are 5 islands in the lake; I have landed and explored two of the islands.

The lake can be busy on weekends so a weekday morning is recommended.    The road is good all the way to Knouff Lake.   A grader was working on the road that day.    Beyond Sullivan Lake, the road is bumpy all the way to Badger Lake.    I will be back to paddle that lake soon.
