Grass Lake May 4, 2008




Well we finally decided to take the plunge and headed out to Grass Lake late on Sunday afternoon. After our 30 mile bike ride we decided we needed some relaxation. It was about 70 degrees, light wind out of the NW and clear. It was our first trip to the lake and we were pleasantly surprised by its quiet and secluded location. There was only a father and one small child there fishing. We unloaded and set out on the west side of the access and headed west. It was a bit choppy, but nothing to severe. We paddled for about an hour just following the shoreline and enjoying being outside in the sun. There was not as much animal and or bird activity as I assumed there would be. A few geese and ducks was about it. Next time I do want go ashore on the islands to photograph some of the nesting going on there.

After unwinding we headed back loaded up and hit the road. By the time we left we had been joined on the lake by another gentleman and his dog in their kayak. It was a great way to end a long day.

Glad to hear more folks are enjoying Grass Lake, it's truly an under-used jewel as small lakes go (and paddle sports.)

You have a nice blog going here, with some great info! Esp. since you cover wheels and water.

Thanks for visiting our site and check back as we'll try to keep things posted on club events (paddling) coming up!

Peace,
