Louis Lake lies in the valley between Mount Fleet and the Paul Lake Ridge (I call it Louis Ridge).   The western end of the lake is shallow and as the lake levels fall and the reeds, rushes, and aquatic plants grow in summer, it becomes impassible for a canoe or kayak.    But in the spring we can paddle the whole lake.   There is a hand launch area on the northeast end of the lake across from the Paul Lake Transfer Station.   Two loops around the lake is 8 km.

It would be rare to see another boat on the lake, but there is a stream of vehicles going by on the Paul – Pinantan Road.   On this day there many ducks on the lake and one pair of loons.

All of the lakes are now open for paddling so there will be a different lake for each paddling day until later in the fall.
