Frozen Lakes


early trip out for a paddle
It was a beautiful cold day

map of our trip looking for open water

Echo, Beavertail, Fry, Lawson,
Gray, Garret, and Patterson.

every lake was frozen over

1st stop Echo Lake



nice morning light but still very cold



Fry Lake with some open water



Garret Lake still in the shade...thick ice



it looks like we won't be launching the canoe today



even the bigger Patterson Lake was frozen



we could hear the singing from all the ice



and the designs were awesome




white everywhere and then some bright red



this homestead has burnt down since our trip



Lawson Lake had some cool ice designs



Gray Lake had very thin ice as it has sun all day



huge icicles right next to the road



this one made a giant sword 



Campbell Lake...finally some open water



we left the canoe on top of the truck
and built a fire to have a hot cup of coffee

another great adventure

  1. Russ,

    I made a similar trip a few years ago looking for open water. Ended up on Roberts and it was wonderful.

    Great set if images that really capture the feel if it. Or maybe that is because I just came in from outside and my fingers are almost too numb to type!

    Happy New Year,

    Richard
