On a cool morning I launched my kayak from the boat launch at the Scuitto Lake Recreation Site.    There was a light breeze from the northwest.

In protected bays, the water was calm with clouds reflected in the lakewater.

There are always lots of birds on both Scuitto Lake and on nearby Campbell Lake.    On this day I spotted ducks and ducklings, geese and goslings, a great blue heron, an osprey, spotted sandpipers, blackbirds, loons, swallows, wrens, and more.

On the west end of the lake, Mt. Vicars stood above the lake, a hike I have done a few times.

Scuitto Lake is one of my favorite paddling spots, one I do every year.    I will be back to paddle Campbell Lake in late summer.
