Peterhope Lake Rec Site is on the northeast corner of the lake, 7 km from the turnoff, just past the south end of Stump Lake.    A good road leads to the Rec site where there is a dedicated boat launch.

Peterhope has marl shoals and sunken islands, with clear water.    Fishermen can catch medium-sized rainbow trout in season.  When smoke blanketed the Interior, the lakes in the this area had relatively clear skies.  Light winds rippled the lake.

At the southwest corner a narrow channel through marshes leads to a small secluded lake.

This was the highlight of the day, going around the shores of the hidden lake.

I paddled back out, then continued around the lake.

A paddle right around the lake, including channels and bays is about 6.5 km.   Peterhope is a favorite lake and I will be back again next year.
