| no partners | | A one-day paddling adventure with a couple friends. I generally do this one every year. Starting from TK Jones Campground we paddle across what used to be called Squaw Lake, hang a left, and go up the backwater to the Senator Wash Dam, where we take a lunch break. There aren't a lot of places you can get out of your boat in these waters, so it's good to know where each one is located. Most of the shoreline is either deep in giant cane thickets, growing in water, or near vertical.
Finding the passageway to get out to the main Colorado River is tricky if you don't know the area. It narrows down to an actual tunnel--very cool!
It's important to watch the wind forecast before planning the trip. We are snowbirds, and have lots of days to pick from. You are not going to be happy with a headwind or sidewind coming back down the river, or in that shallow lake.
I wasn't really birding. Saw the usual Great Egret, Osprey, Coots, various flavors of ducks. |
