Pinantan Lake
We have so many lakes to paddle that it will take a decade to get to them all, but each year I add a few more, paddling the shoreline of the lakes. I was delighted by Pinantan Lake. It is a good lake for a recreational paddle on a quiet day. The best hand launch is from the small community park across from the school.
The shoreline has a few homes, but many are set back from the lake's edge. Wetlands can be found around the north and east sides of the lake. The narrow channel to Little Pinantan can be paddled, but there is one small debris dam that will need clearing each time you enter the route. Birds, dragonflies, loons, and ducks greeted me as I paddled the shoreline. The shoreline route is about 4.5km (including the channel). This would be a better paddle on a weekday when there is less activity from other boats. We will return to paddle this pleasant lake again.
