Does anyone live on the water?
« on: September 18, 2018, 10:45:59 AM »
We have a small private lake on our property but unfortunately it’s not deep enough to run anything bigger than the Jon-boat we use to hunt off of.  You can see in the summer it gets low enough for the elk to cross. In the rainy months it’s a couple feet higher. Any one live on water where they can just jump in their boat and go? I always thought that would be the best situation.

It’s a smaller lake but big enough to ski and an great fishing lake.

Nice to see some one else from Washington, I thought I was the only one. ;) Great pics,looks like a great piece of property. BTW. Growing up, my parents had a house on Puget Sound.

Yes, over 25 years now; a few small lakes connected.  Picture taken tonight, I’m afraid summer is waning.
