Fitness Hike - Lake Sonoma

4.67 miles on a loop below the old campground.

Kelly Road Paddle

Back on Lake Sonoma this morning taking advantage of the calm conditions and nice weather.

 

We paddled out Yorty Creek, crossed the main lake and explored what I call the West Kelly Road arm. From there we paddled down the lake a ways, then retuirning back to Kelly Road East, Yorty Creek, and the take out.

About 9.5 miles total. No hiking on this paddle.

 

Cherry Creek Paddle & Hike

The early mornings continue to be sunny and warm, so I was back on lake Sonoma for a fun little adventure paddle.

 

From the Yorty Creek access, I paddled out to the main lake body, then up the Cherry Creek arm. I continued to the mouth of Cherry Creek, landed the kayak, and continued up the creek, using it as a water trail. I got pretty far, turned around and retraced my track back to the put-in. 

About 8.5 miles round trip.

Roaming The Modoc Plateau

Searching out fish-able lakes on the Modoc Plateau that have recovered after being dry for several years. The past winters heavy rains and snow have refilled most all of these remote lakes, and the California DFW is restocking them with Eagle Lake Rainbows. This is some beautiful land in the Northeastern California high desert.
