Conkle Lake - Kayaking Today ( Sunday, Jul 25, 2010 )

Kayaking today on Conkle Lake

We left Oliver BC at about 7:00am and after a long drive we arrived at Conkle at about 10am. The road from Brides-ville was a dirt road mostly good. Some washboard and loose rock on the road.

The lake was great with a huge sandy beach on the North end with picnic tables and some sandy little pocket beaches on the N/W side.

Robin and I paddled following the shore-line starting from the North counter-clockwise and returned to our Put-In spot at the North end. Stopping for lunch of smokies cooked on my camp-stove on the S/E shore.

Vary quiet lake no powerboats sign said max 25kw motors aloud.

I heard talk of a waterfall we followed the trail labeled "Falls" and found the waterfalls area that were not vary impressive at this time of the year. Probably spring they are more significant.

Many people fishing, kayaking and swimming in the lake. Water was cool and refreshing.
