On our way to Paul Lake Provincial Park or Pinantan Lake, we drive past the shores of Louis Lake.   The lake is too shallow for swimming or fishing and it is too small and shallow for a bigger boat, but it is just right for a stand-up paddleboard outing.

There is a small pullout to drive down to the reedy lakeshore, but the grass makes an easy launch spot.   The paddle around the shoreline is 3.2 km.

It is shallow all the way around the shoreline.   The water was clear so small creatures could be seen below.   Ducks dabbled on the lake and there was a chorus of toads in the marshy areas.

We kayak the larger lakes but smaller ones like Louis Lake are perfect for a morning of cruising on the paddleboard.
