Lake St.Peter Kayaking!

We stayed at Lake St.Peter Provincial Park for six nights. Of course we brought our kayaks and fishing gear along with us. The park is really nice! There was a beach where we could launch our kayaks and a boat launch located close to our campsite. In fact, we locked our kayaks up near the launch and just walked there whenever we wanted to go out kayaking - perfect! Here's a couple photos of where you can launch:

So our first trip out kayaking we marked a few fish, usually in shallow water, but only Dave caught a fish. A smaller bass. Lake St. Peter is a deep lake in some spots with areas a hundred feet deep. Here are some photos of our first trip out on the lake:

Most of the time we were at this park, it rained. Everyday, at least once a day. Either in the morning or the afternoon, then it would clear out. We still made it out kayaking a fair bit. Here are some photos of a typical cloudy morning paddle:

We spent as much time as possible on the water at this park. Almost everyday we were out kayaking with the exception of our golfing trip to Bancroft one day and our trip to Eagle's Nest Lookout in Bancroft another day. I caught a couple smaller bass and Dave caught a couple more smaller ones while we were here. The one day we went out, we knew a rain storm was forecast, but no thunderstorms so we headed out anyway. The sky was menacing and we knew we'd end up wet, but it was refreshing considering how warm it was. Here are some photos taken from our kayaks. We only made it out about 1.5 km then it poured so we headed back. 

 

The weather the next day was nice, so we headed out again. Dark clouds blew through and it looked like it could rain at times, but there wasn't rain in the forecast. It wouldn't be the first time we'd been poured upon anyway! 

Lake St.Peter was a great place to kayak! We caught a few fish and really enjoyed our time on the water. The shoreline is dotted with cottages and there is not a lot of "wild shoreline" but it's still pretty. The motorboat traffic was not too heavy at the end of the lake where the Provincial Park is located but it's busier on the weekends. During the week it was typical to enjoy a peaceful paddle. 

We really enjoyed kayaking and camping at this park!
