Sorry to do
this again but we have to change the venue site for this Saturdays Hobie
activity. I was informed the creek going into Bonnie Lake
is very low not allowing even some of the smallest crafts to access the lake.
So with this news I have moved the activity to Whiskey Rock State Park on Lake Pend Oreille .
This is a beautiful site with typically great winds and places to hike, and the
fishing is great.
Go to this
link http://boatingtheinlandnw.blogspot.com/2012/03/lake-pend-oreille-bonner-kootenai.html
and move down the page to #27 Whiskey Rock for driving directions and link to
park info. The park fee is free to camp (as the park site indicates) and there
is a very primitive launch that only Hobie’s and small boats can be launched
from. If you do not want to take the back roads and would like to boat to this
site then launch from Farragut State Park launch (via the same link I just
provided, move down the page to #32 Eagle Boat Launch); it’s about ten miles up
the lake from this launch to Whiskey Rock. That is a long paddle trip (20 miles
round trip) or even longer sail if you have to tack back and forth to get
there.
The plan is
to leave Friday evening around 6:00 PM from my store so if anyone wants to follow me
you are welcome to email me and we can plan to go at the
same time. I will camp overnight and then sail and swim a ton. Of
course those of you who do not want to camp overnight can come on Sat. just for
the day.
PS. I have
to say the drive around the back side of the lake on the gravel roads is a beautiful
drive.
Again I apologize
for the site change as I really thought the creek would still be deep enough.
Please let
me know if you are coming by emailing me back.
Thank you.
