| no partners | | We checked out Greer Lakes and I decided the best way to see all the lakes was a hike and float. Starting from River Reservoir we inflated the packrafts and started the float. River Reservoir is the largest of the 3 lakes. We floated to the other end on the north side and exited the boat ramp. From there we carried boats, paddles, etc about 0.4 miles to the next one called Bunch Reservoir. We paddled to one end of the lake and had a floating lunch and beverage with the frogs providing sound effects. After that with the prevailing winds we kind of floated back down the lake going the length of the reservoir.
We exited Bunch and hauled our gear about 0.3 miles to the next one Tunnel Reservoir which is the smallest of the three. Nice float across to the other side exiting near the outlet gate. From there it was a short hike back to River Reservoir with a rocky down climb mixed in. Once on River we took our time floating to the far end but eventually we had to fight the wind back to the parking lot. Total on the track was about 4 miles with under a mile of hiking. Great way to see the lakes with minimal hiking and lots of floating  |
