Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes Paddling
The campground at Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes is a good spot for a quiet retreat near smaller lakes, with some pleasant trails and paddling opportunities. We paddled both Kentucky and Alleyne Lakes in the same day.
There are launch spots on both lakes from the campground. the paddle around Kentucky Lake is 4km and the paddle around Alleyne Lake is 3.7 km. Both lakes have a turquoise color and white-mud shoals.
Seven loons escorted us around Alleyne Lake after lunch.
The north end of the lakes is grasslands and part of the Douglas Lake Cattle Company.
The south end of the lakes is surrounded by forest. Both lakes are worth a trip for a day of paddling or for anyone wanting to camp in a pleasant spot in the Southern Interior.

Be careful where you launch or if you try to get out, the white mud will try to eat your shoe. I got out to stretch my legs on the shore at the north end and was knee deep in mud.
