On a September day I drove to Falkland, then up the Chase Creek Road to Pillar Lake.   There is a BC Rec Site on the east side of the lake with a gravel boat launch.

At the start of the paddle there was no wind.    The Pillar Lake Resort is located on the hillside above the lake for about 200m, but there are no other homes along the lake.

The lake is narrow, but it is a nice relatively quiet spot to paddle.    The distance around the shoreline is about 4.6 km.

After paddling I secured the kayak, I hiked up the trail to The Pillar above:
