Destination: Spider Lake
Date: Sunday July 7
Time: Anytime after 11am until late afternoon
Meeting Place: Spider Lake; The lake is in a Provincial Park 43km south of Courtenay. Take the Horne Lake turn off and watch for the sign for Spider Lake (left turn at 3.9 km – Illusion Lake Rd).
The last part of the road is a good unfinished surface. Watch and follow the signs.
Description:We will start gathering about 11am and enjoy a picnic lunch (bring your own) before launching about 1pm for a leisurely paddle in and out of all the bays around the circumference of the lake. Last year was a beautiful day and participants finished the day practicing their self rescues in the warm water.
Length of Trip:The actual paddling was/is only about 1½ hours but the day, not including travel time, is 5-6 hours
