On Face Lake
Face Lake is at the end of the Paska Lake Road. A backroad does continue around the lake, but it is very rough. I have driven it twice, but never again. There is a Rec Site on the northeast corner of the lake that can be used to launch a boat, but when there is a better choice at Mile High Resort, and that will be my choice this year and in the future. A small guest fee is required to drop a boat off, park in the designated area, then launch from their beach. On a hot June day, I launched into the bay at the south end of the lake and paddled the shoreline counter-clockwise.
At the north end of the lake, Greenstone Mountain stands above the hills, 6.8 km away.
The shoreline is forested all the way around the lake. The lake lies at 1460m (4790 ft).
An eagle watched over the lakeshore at the northeast end of the lake.
Above the east side of the lake Chuwhels Mountain rises 425 m above the lake and 3 km away.
In the northwest corner loons had two chicks which were now swimming with their parents.
I paddled for about 1.5 hours, covering about 6 km in a leisurely summer paddle in the high country.
