We got out on the lake this week. Even though we live close to the lake, we don't have a dock or boat so we only get out on the water a few times a year.
Usually in a borrowed kayak. Lake people can be quite generous 🙂
We have a couple of neighbors with docks that let us use them whenever we want but we don't want to wear out our welcome. Although we do alot for our neighbors too. Help with some maintenance kind of stuff and their dogs and whatever.
There are cabins and docks all around the lake. Fortunately there are lots of older cabins with pretty long shorefronts so its not excessively developed. And there is a public beach that is 1000 ft long so that won't ever be developed. The rest of the shoreline is privately owned. Except for a public boat ramp.
Colors have been disappointing this year due to the severe drought in my area. The best colors of the afternoon were on the walk down to the lake.
