Eagle Lake

Just after launching our boats on Eagle Lake, we started to notice sprinkles on the water. Enjoying the mild sun shower, we reached for our sandwiches for a late lunch. As soon as we opened the tupperware, a deluge of rain hit and we sealed up our lunches while waiting out the storm on the lake.

When the storm had passed, we opened our lunches back up and floated from the launch towards the broad lake. We spent the afternoon drying out and exploring the shoreline. This was a lake that we had driven by for years and used as a landmark on route 74. As usual, we were more impressed by the lake from our boats. The rock formations and hidden coves made for some nice surprises. However our soundtrack for the day included laden semis knocking over the bridge with engine brakes engaged.

We were delighted to find a lean to and some camping areas on the northwestern shore of the lake. Perhaps we will return for an overnight.
