A favorite combination is to paddle around Stake Lake (once, twice, or thrice), then hike on the trails.   On the first day of summer, there was little wind on the lake for two loops, then I secured the kayak and went for a 5 km hike on the trails.

Stake Lake is a favorite lake too because of its clear water and light-colored shoals.

Once around the lake, doing all of the bays takes about 25 minutes.

Stake Lake is one of a handful of lakes that I paddle several times each year. I will be back next time with the grandkids.
