11/9/2019 - Merwin Lake, Woodland, WA
Time: 2.9
Distance: 9 miles
We put in at Speelyai Park and paddled East until the reservoir became a small river. We were hoping to reach the damn at Yale Reservoir but were blocked. We then turned and went the short distance we could up Canyon Creek before turning back. We started seeing Bald Eagles almost immediately after the Yale bridge and they followed us into and out of their area. It was a truly incredible day.

Blocked. The Yale damn is just barely out of view.
Where Canyon Creek finally turned us back.
