On a day with marginal weather forecast I drove down through Merritt then up to Lundbom Lake. By the time I arrived at the launch area the winds were up and the paddle became a bit of an adventure.
A paddle around the lake is 3.3km. With the wind at my back, I reached the far end of the lake in 15 minutes.
The way back around the lake took twice as long, but I just treat wind challenges as an opportunity for an endurance and strength workout.
Grey skies were the order of the day and some rain may have fallen later in the day.
I have hiked the Lundbom Commonage extensively, but this was the first time paddling the lake. I explored the campgrounds too and I could see this will be fine place to spend a few days.
