On a grey morning I got an early start to get to the boat launch on Roche Lake before the winds came up.    I paddled the lakeshore, a 2 hour, 9.2 km outing.

There were some goslings following the geese around the shallow bays on the lake.

The lake was calm, but there were many fishermen all over the lake.    It is best to avoid weekends and prime time on Roche Lake.

In a shallow bay away from all of the fishermen,  a loon had her baby on her back.    The chick will be swimming soon.

I paddle Roche Lake very year, picking a good time to avoid too much traffic on the water.
