Stake in October
In the fall Stake Lake is a “go-to” spot since the lake is one of the best paddling spots, it is relatively quiet, and we can do a paddle and hike on the trails. On an October day, there was little wind and fall color was in patches around the lake.
I paddled twice around the lake (60 minutes), then went for a short hike. A few images from the paddle are shared here. Click an image for a lightbox view and a caption.
Depending on conditions we may be able to paddle into early November this year (about 80 days of paddling in 2023).
Watch for a video on this hike on the YouTube Ramble On channel.
