MOSQUITO CREEK PADDLE


Sunday, July 25

Due to a late start, we decided to check out a short paddle our friend Pat told us about. We launched the boats at the small boat launch beside Arrow Lakes Ferry.
Under beautiful sunny skies, we packed the boats, lunch and all, and paddled across the lake, which is a very short distance.
Upon entering the creek, it is very wide, and quiet... what a beautiful creek. It's extremely easy to paddle, and the view is spectacular. We saw eagles, osprey, many ducks and geese. Kayaks can easily go all the way to the end of the creek, where a river meets with the creek. Power boats can't access this area, it is very shallow.

We parked the boats on the little beach, and enjoyed the sounds and smells of nature. Upon arriving, we were sharing the beach with beautiful butterflies. What a nice place to escape when you don't have a lot of time but want to get away for a few hours.
