Kayaking to Lows Lake

We had a great paddle with Linda and Edward today from Lows Lower Dam on the Bog River to Lows Lake and back, for a total of 15 1/2 miles, plus the portage. And it only took us 6 1/2 hours, including lunch at a nice campsite.This was our last large lake in the Paddle Pursuit. We didn't venture too far into the lake, as you can tell from the route marked on the map, but our explore around the islands was neat. There are lots of bits of bog various places, not just the spot in the river. We expected it to be a long ordeal, but we really enjoyed the paddle and didn't feel the distance. We are definitely in much better paddling shape than ever. I'd like to go farther into the lake the next time if we can find a day with little wind. The weather was pretty good considering what it has been like recently. We saw a bit of blue sky and the colors of the trees were magnificent. Mostly it was gray, but no rain.
