Temps are dipping below freezing, daytime made it to 50 and lots of sunshine-
Time to go explore a lake I've not dropped a boat in yet.
Lake Shannon.
Impounded by an early hydroelectric dam, said to be the largest one on the West coast... in 1925. Now one of the smallest hydro dams from that era.
It has land locked Kokanee Salmon and some decent trout- kind of an overlooked jewel.
Low water currently, the gravel boat launch is usable at most any level... lot's of tree tops sticking out to keep it interesting.
My buddy Steve and I had the whole 7+ mile reservoir to ourselves, even found a nice sandy beach to use for lunch and a beer.
Day use only, the only improvement would be a few boat in campsites.
Nice views of Mt Baker and Shuksan here and there- some places both.
My long time buddy Steve, now sporting a new titanium right knee- working well!
Mt Shuksan
Several of these man made Osprey nests are attached to the taller trees... only saw one Osprey, but the ones we got close to seemed full of nesting material
Technically not my photo, one that Steve took
