2/28/2021 - Yale Lake, Yale Lake Park, Cougar, WA

Time: 10.07 hours

Distance: 10.09 miles

We put into Yale Lake at Yale Lake Park and paddled South to Saddle Dam. We investigated a small stream on the South East side of the Dam then worked back North to where Siouxon Creek enters the Lake and finally back to Yale Lake Park. The day was overcast and around 40 F but there was no rain and almost no traffic.
