Paddling Neskonlith Lake

Kamloops Kayak Posted on by

On a mid-May morning I launched my kayak into Neskonlith Lake in calm conditions.

I paddled around the east end of the lake and up the shoreline, then back around the rocky island to the launch area.

On the previous year I had paddled the other end of the lake.   A paddle around the whole lake is 11.6 km.   By the end of this day’s paddle some light rain was falling and there were some winds.    Most of the video clips were taken before the rains:

It was very quiet on the lake on the last day of the long weekend.   This is another favorite lake for an annual paddle.

On a sunny and breezy morning in September I paddled out of the boat launch in Neskonlith Lake Provincial Park.

A steady wind out of the southwest was part oif the paddling experience, but it was not a problem.    Along the way there was a log with western painted turtles, and osprey overhead, and geese in the lee of the small island.    I paddled west, then looped back.   A paddle around the lake takes about 2 hours.

Neskonlith Lake is one of our best paddling destinations.   It is accessed on gravel roads from Chase.
