On a cool May morning I drove to Walloper Lake and launched at the Rec Site.

There was a steady breeze on the lake, but there were bays and coves to tuck in to to avoid the winds.

A paddle around the lake takes about an hour, but wetlands called for some exploration while following the shoreline.

At the west corner of the lake is a marsh where I have previous spotted nesting loons.

Walloper Lake is a favorite paddling spot, but it is even better when it is not a busy afternoon or weekend.   For most of the outing there was only the kayak and the birds on the lake.
