Another opportunity to use our Sea Eagle inflatable kayak.
When we first visited Limekiln Lake Campground, we just went hiking but vowed to return to paddle on the lake. It took us two years to return, but here we are.
Limekiln Lake, with a surface area of 457 acres is almost the same size as our own Kayuta Lake (461 acres) but more compact, it's widest diameter being 2 1/2 miles.
It was quite warm but thankfully, some clouds provided a little relief from the heat making for a very enjoyable paddle. Through the clear water, we could see the rocky bottom of the lake, at least close to the shore. No wonder there were many swimmers on the beach as well by the numerous waterfront campsites.
With 3 1/2 miles of shoreline, we had no plan to circle the whole lake. From the swimming beach area, we paddled until we almost reached the lake's easternmost shore which appears to be beyond the campground's border, there being a number of private camps around.
The lake was pretty quiet considering that the campground's 271 campsites were almost all occupied. Paddling was such a joy, sharing the lake mostly with kayakers, some canoers and only 1 jet ski and a motorboat.
The day became even more memorable by these two loons, the first we have sighted this season.
