On a cool day with little wind White Lake (near Tappen) was the destination for a paddle.   It is a large lake (12 km around) and in the fall it is better to divide the lake into two separate paddles.   There are two good boat launches to do this.    On this day, the west end of the lake is easily accessed using a boat launch next to the Fire Hall/Community Hall.   There was some local smoke from slash burning on Bastion Mountain nearby.

From the community boat launch to White Lake Provincial Park is 3.3 km.    Normally I would cross the lake and return on the other side, but the south side was smoky so it was an out-and-back route instead.

The White Lake Provincial Park is at point which protects another boat launch and day use area.

From the point we can see down to the end of the lake which is still in the park.

We plan to return to paddle the east end of the lake in the spring, launching from the Provincial Park Campground.   After this paddle, I chose to do the White Lake Lookout Trail.    I will choose another trail to hike in the spring.
