Paska Lake is located under the slopes of Chuwhels Mountain, on the high plateau between Lac le Jeune and Logan Lake.      The Paska Lake Road turns off the Meadow Creek Road (to Logan Lake) and climbs through the hills, bearing north.   The Paska Lake Recreation Site is located on the western shore of the lake.    There is a boat launch there and lots of parking.   One day into summer I paddled around the lakeshore on a fine, sunny, and calm day.

Kayakers can choose to paddle down a shallow lagoon channel on the southwest corner of the lake.    By mid-summer the water drops and the aquatic vegetation fills in the channel.    On this day I was able to paddle about 2/3 of the way down the channel and back.    This is the outlet for Paska Lake.

The shoreline is marshy for part of the lake and forested on three sides.     There are a number of summer cabins and homes on the northwestern arm.    A paddle around the lake is a bout 4 km.

On this day there was a great blue heron, ducks and ducklings, geese and goslings, loons, shoreline birds, and many fish jumping.    This was a quiet morning of paddling in the high country.
