On a late August day I drove through Logan Lake, then down to Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park.    at a road junction i turned down the Leighton Lake Road and parked at the boat launch area.    I launched the kayak and paddled around the lake.

This is a scenic paddle with forest and some cabins on the east side and grasslands on the west.   Tunkwa Lake is directly south, on the other side of the dam.   There were lots of ducks on the lake, some flowering aquatic plants, lots of dragonflies, and birds.    After paddling the lake (3.4 km), I secured the boat and hiked the Leighton Lake Trail.    A few images are shared here.    Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption:
