We had the chance to take the canoe out for the afternoon this past Sunday. You may recognize the canoe in the banner as being the family canoe that use to reside at the camp in Old Forge. The canoe now belongs to Dale, but we are canoe sitting until they can get it to Tennessee. Until then, we thought we would take advantage of having it in our possession. We found a little lake in the Southern Finger Lakes in a paddle guide that sounded like a perfect outing. It was called Lamoka Lake.
Once we got out on the water there was an Island calling to be explored.
A quick internet search indicated that there were suppose to be some pretty big bass in the lake but we didn’t have much luck finding any of them.
Sean had taken the opportunity to throw out a line while we were beached on the island.
Nathan took the opportunity to go for a little swim and to skip some rocks.
It was a wonderful day to be out on the water. We also felt more confident about putting a canoe on our car a setting out for a day trip from home such as this. We can see ourselves doing this more often in the years to come.
