10/2/2021 - Lake Merwin, Speelyai Park, WA

Time: 3.75 hours

Distance: 11.99 miles

We put into Lake Merwin from Speelyai Park and paddled West for just over five miles until we could see the damn at the West end of the Lake in the distance. The day was sunny and warm and the traffic on the lake was fairly light making for a very pleasant trip.
