We have been to Watson Lake several times but never took the time to go to Willow Lake, until this past week. Oh my! it is a great lake for kayaking and birding. I strongly recommend it.
We walked around the lake and it is beautiful. We had a great time and loved taking pictures and looking at the great rock formations. Close to town but worth a special trip.
Trails all over. We love the rocks, the scenery! Trails not always well marked. We got sidetracked and lost the trail numerous times. The views were worth getting lost, however!
This lake is very beautiful with its still water and rock outcroppings. Lots of photo opportunities, great trails for hiking and a large gazebo that can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions. Very well kept and clean.
Rent a kayak and ride around amongst the boulders and wildlife. Beautiful and peaceful surroundings while getting a decent workout. Check that the rentals are open or buy yourself your own.
Beautiful Lake with a nice established path. Informational signs about the birds near the parking area and well marked trails surround the lake.
Nice trail to walk around the lake. Very peaceful place to enjoy the sounds of nature and meet locals out fishing or doing the same.
So glad we stopped here. It just looks like any other lake from the highway. However, just a minute after turning off the highway, the rocky terrain around this lake is visible... and gorgeous! We definitely plan on returning with our kayaks. Nice park and trails. It appeared they also had frizbee golf, horseshoes and bocce ball court. BONUS: Wednesday is free day! The rest of the time there is a $2 parking fee.
Exploring the granite dells was a ton of fun for everyone in our group. If you don't have your own it definitely worth renting.
There are so many lakes that we can go and look at, the question often is what makes any of them special.Easy answer for Watson - the rocks which form part of the lake infrastructure. Very impressive.
