On a hot summer day I paddled Surrey Lake.    there is a good road to the Wildlings Resort on Surrey Lake.   There is a boat launch there and paddlers can pay a fee to park and launch, or alternately, take the side road along the west side of the lake and hand launch at one of two spots.    That road (around Surrey Lake) is a narrow one and high clearance is advised.

With steady paddling it took an hour to go around the 5 km shoreline of the lake.

Some video of the paddling experience is shared here:

When the temperatures rise only a few ducks will be on the lakes.    These ones were having a siesta on a lakeshore log.

When the temperatures rise, the lakes that lie at an elevation of over 4000 feet are good destinations for a morning paddle.    Surrey Lake is one more gem in the Kamloops area for paddlers.
