Reflections – On Scuitto Lake
On a mid-October sunny morning, we paddled Scuitto Lake. The lake levels had dropped quite a lot since spring from both evaporation and draw-down, but it was still a fine place to fish or paddle.
Early in the morning there was only one boat on the lake. More fishermen arrived later. All of them seemed to have some success on this fall day.
There is one larger island and two smaller ones. One of the islands is completely below water in spring. Along part of the southwestern side of the lake are a number of standing stumps. In spring, swallows nest in holes in them.
Some of the stumps and roots would fit into a sculpture exhibit.
A page on Scuitto Lake will be developed over winter. For now, we can reflect back to lakes we have paddled this year.
