On the first weekend of November, we did another trip to Mabel Lake to explore the mouth of Tsuius Creek and the areas beautiful fall colours. Tsuius stands for "where the two lakes meet..." and Mabel Lake is about the narrowest at that point and it is an excellent place for crossing over.

The shoreline at the creek's mouth was smooth and endless sandy beaches invited for a longer stay. A few weekend cottages nestled in golden coloured cottonwood trees, accompanied by blue skies and a warm sun, built a breathtaking ambiance on that day. A place definitely worth visiting.

On your next visit to the Okanagan or Shuswap region make sure to try out lake kayaking.

Summer is the best time because it is warm outside, however, the fall and winter seasons are special for paddling as there is absolute tranquility on the water without the noisy and wavy power boat traffic.

If you have a passion for nature, cultural events and for history, be sure to make every effort to see the native pictograph sites on Mabel Lake.

Shuswap Kayaks is a non-profit group and we can guide and outfit you or your party or recommend someone who can make the necessary gear available for the trip.

See 'ya on the water...
