9/8/2023 - Elk Lake, OR

Time: 1.18 hours

Distance: 3.64 miles

We put into Elk Lake on a beautiful clear morning with the plan being to paddle two such smaller lakes in the same day. The lake was crystal clear, there was basically no wind and only a few other paddlers and swimmers to be found. A lovely paddle all the way around the edges of the lake.
