at the Highway 50 Boat Ramp on Creedmoor Road(Highway 50). The lake is 2+ feet over
full pool(251.5).
-
Distance/Time - 10 miles/4.5 hours
-
Difficulty - Above Average because of the high wind.

Trip Directions - I headed towards
RollingView Marina and then
straight towards the end of Lick Creek. The high water let me get back
pretty far, however, the best paddle was up Laurel Creek which is on the
south side of the loop back. I forgot to turn on the track function on
the GPS, so only have less than half of the trip. The wind was high
heading out, but then died down on the way back and the sun was setting so
it was a nice quiet paddle back. Beautiful day for the end of
November. Saw two other kayakers and various power boaters.
Noticed that a few families come out and just make an afternoon on their
pontoon/house boat.

Scenery -
Lots of ducks and egrets. Trees are all mostly down, was able to find
two old homesteads off the two access roads. I also came upon a 'Duke
Lacross' painting on a large rock. They spelled Lacrosse wrong, no
houses are near by, so they had to hike in to do this.
