  • Kayaking // Diablo Lake 18.1
    Day trip kayaking Diablo Lake in the North Cascades in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, in my Wilderness Systems 145 kayak.There's a brief review of the campsite Buster Brown which is boat in only camping.
    Overall its a great kayaking lake with a couple great stops for camping.

    Its gorgeous there, a pristine example of the beauty of WA. I do slightly disagree, I believe Blanca lake is prettier. Just now noticed theyre both Spanish names for some reason though🤔

    We were just there yesterday, lake has kinda lost its color but it was warm in the sun. We paddled from Colonial to thunder point. So beautiful up there!

      you mean it wasn't turquoise? That's the whole reason I want to see it tbh...is it a permanent color change?

    Sculling draw will be a great way to parallel park.

    beautiful video, love that place. What did you use to record it? thx

    • @DanteDeGraaf

      Thanks! I use an Olympus Tough TG-870 and a imitation gopro. The Olympus is a little older but still the best kayaking camera in my opinion. The newer versions don't have the view screen that flips so you can see yourself as you film. It really helps making sure everything is in frame.

    footage 5.13 (ramp on right side from you) is this ross lake ferry landing , are you alowed to go past that all the way to the dam? th

    • @DanteDeGraaf
      @DanteDeGraaf  3 роки тому +1

      You cant paddle all the way to the damn, but if you get off that dock at 5:13 you can hike up to the damn or there's a phone there and you can call a guy to bring his flatbed down and portage you and your kayak over to Ross Lake for I think $20... not too sure if that's seasonal or not.

    How long did it take you to get to Buster Brown?

    • @DanteDeGraaf
      @DanteDeGraaf  4 роки тому +2

      It's about a 30-40 minute beautiful paddle from Colonial Creek to Buster Brown without stopping.

    Do you know If you can access lake Diablo from the campground entry point with your own kayak- even if you’re not camping there?

    • @DanteDeGraaf
      @DanteDeGraaf  3 роки тому +1

      Yes, you can park at the Colonial Creek Campground parking lot and use the boat launch or launch from the breach without a problem even if you're not camping. It's an amazing paddle... just be sure to time your paddle right, that afternoon wind will give you a workout coming back.

      I'm not a big soda drinker, but it was a cold morning and it was mixed with just a little anti-freeze to warm you up from the inside.
