Trip Reports

2024 - March 12 Lower Platte and Loon Lake

Paul Wilkins | Published on 3/12/2024
An enjoyable paddle on a sunny, blue sky day. Unseasonably warm temperatures provided a great opportunity to get together for a fun day. Our group experienced a headwind and even a few small white caps at the opening into Loon Lake, causing us to head toward the west shoreline to reach calm waters. We observed a numerous beaver chews along the shoreline and well as a pair of Red Shouldered hawks performing their flight mating ritual. (Thank you, Paul M, for recognizing this ritual)
