Sure is quiet in here....do I need to start a fight?

Looks good!.....Private lake?

No, its one of our larger lakes in this province, it takes me about 15 = 16 mins to get from the launch to my cabin, about 30 mins to run the whole length of the navigable part, about 12 miles long from headwater to the ocean.

Sounds like a fisher mans paradise!...Is it a natural lake?

Yes, its natural and quite deep, some spots are 120' with 90 being the average, plenty of big fish swimming around in it.

This is what I see from my deck looking across the lake,

Fixing it up has been on my mind since 1995 when I bought it out from my mother and father. I began hauling materials up there from that time onward just waiting for the time to become available to get it done. Still plenty to do though, the only other cabin I can see from my place will be removed soon, it has been bought out by our provincial government and will be allowed to go back to nature after the cabin is removed.

It`s looking up and now the interior will get some attention. Glad you had a good trip out there and the boat worked well for you. Boats are a money pit but ya can`t go far on the water without one.

I get some awesome days there, water like glass and reflections of the sky so true you don`t know where the sky stops and the water begins. Very soon I won`t be able to see another cabin from my deck but I get to see that lake in all its glory, fall colors are brilliant up there.

 

[Welder56]

Could only imagin what that looks like in the fall man. What a beauty view.

Hoping one day I have a spot like that. Its a dream of mine
