A photo story

Kayaking on Lake Pend Oreille

I was out in our teal Lifetime kayak on Lake Pend Oreille in north Idaho, in July 2023. The water was wide and calm, with forested hills along the shore and a hazy sky over the far end of the lake. It was around 86, under that hazy sky, with almost no wind.

We had also paddled the lake in April 2023, and the second photo is from that trip: the same kayak on glassy water, with spring trees, a shoreline of RVs and cabins, and snow still sitting on a peak across the way. That April afternoon was around 70, with almost no wind. A week before the July paddle I had stopped at a shed near the lake.
