9/17/2022 - Yale Lake, Yale Lake Park, WA

Time: 3.2 hours

Distance: 9.22 miles

We put into Yale Lake at Yale Lake Park and paddled Northeast to where the lake is fed by the Lewis River, then up the river a short distance before we were blocked by rapids and then back to the park. The temperatures we in the low 70s, there was a little wind when we first put in which dropped away after about an hour and there was almost no other people on the lake. A very pleasant paddle.
