Keen Lake Kayak

Outdoorsian

Kayaking on the glass surface of Keen Lake was not how I envisioned it.  It was better.  I went out around 8 AM as the fog was just lifting off the lake.  It took me a few minutes to get settled in.  But once, I did, I made great time cruising around the quiet surface of the lake.

Launching a kayak by yourself, when you're not trying to get wet, is a difficult task.  I managed to bring a little water into the craft but it didn't matter.  Once I got out there, everything else faded away.  The sound of my paddle hitting the water and the water streaming off the front of the kayak was all I could hear.  Once I got my paddling rhythm down, there was no catching me.   It felt like I was going 15 mph when I really got going. 

My only regret is that I didn't bring a fishing rod.  I saw plenty of fish swimming around underneath me.  Next time, I'll come prepared.
