There are hundreds of lakes to paddle in the area and we try to get out to as many as we can, adding a few new ones to the list each year.   From Highway 24 (Little Fort to 100 Mile House area) are dozens of lakes of all sizes, with differing challenges of access.   On a summer\s day, we drove up the road and at the top of the hill, we turned onto an unsigned road into the Latremouille Lake Recreation site.  There are 9 campsites at the end of a short, rough road.   Access to the lake is by hand launch.

 

 

There was no one in the Rec Site, nor on the lake on this sunny, mid-week day.  The lake was calm and quiet.

 

 

The whole shoreline is forested and there are no large hills around the lake.   A number of aquatic flowering plants were spotted in the shallows – knotweed, buckbean, aquatic buttercup, marsh cinquefoil, burr-reed, and water lilies.

 

 

Kingfishers chittered and flitted along the trees.   Loons fished the lake.   A sliver light painted the lake’s surface.

 

 

The paddle around the shoreline was 5.3 km.   Another gem in the Highway 24 area.

 

I went over to Goose and Laurel Lake afterward to explore some more.   I will be back again to paddle Deer Lake and Rock Island Lake to the north.
