Fishhawk Lake-Kayaking on Fishhawk Lake

 

You could be doing this right now if you owned property at Fishhawk Lake! It doesn't even have to be lakefront. My friend, Doug (who bought our old home, through me off-the-lake and he and his wife have become dear friends), has access to take his kayak out on Fishhawk Lake any time of year that he wants to!

The great thing about kayaking, is there is no "season" at Fishhawk Lake. As long as you are warm and dry, you can simply plop your light watercraft into Fishhawk Lake via the two boat ramps, located at either end of the lake or if you have lakefront property at Fishhawk Lake, you can drift it in right off your own shoreline!

Doug's lookin' pretty content here. If there could be such a thing as a Dapper Kayaker, I think he'd win the prize. He was out enjoying life a couple of weekends ago, when my husband and I took a canoe ride through the placid mirrored waters. I was showing my hubby one of my new vacant lot listings at Fishhawk Lake that just happened to have a recent handbuilt teepee on it,

so I was busy taking photos when Doug quietly came by for a quick hello. A great photo op, I must say! (Take note of the pink and blue on either side of the teepee, which signifies to me that it was built by both a girl and a boy). I feel pretty dang lucky that I have to go out on a canoe on Fishhawk Lake to take pictures of a listing!

So, if you've got a hankerin' to go kayaking, canoeing or teepee building, I've got just the place to sell you on (or OFF) Fishhawk Lake! Call me for a private tour!

Now this is just one of the MANY reasons to love Fishhawk. What a happy looking kayaker and I would love to take pics of a listing from a boat. Maybe I could pitch a tent on a vacant lot and live there. Smiling

Hi Gayle, I used to love Kayaking. Haven't done it in a long time but I would surely have one ( a Kayak ) if I lived on a lake like Fishhawk. Cool post.

The lake seems so relaxing Gayle.... and Doug knows hot to relax for sure. Love the hat. When I went kayaking my pants got all wet since it is such a low draft boat. I like Doug's better.

Sharon, when the time comes...I'll have one reserved with your name on it!

Sondra, our friends just left after having a movie night at the Boxman's--so we're relaxed! (Doug and his wife Cheryl). Hope you are taking good care of yourself, friend.

William, I have found that I like canoeing better. I stay drier and don't have to move my arms as much!

Gary, his got wet, too! You just don't see it...he told me that after I showed him this post...they were here tonite for "Movie Night".

A! Hello, friend--you're back online--wonderful to see you! I'll bet you two are having a great time....

James, it's incredibly peaceful. Ron and Alexandra (comment above you) can attest to that, as they've been here.

Hi Gayle, I love the teepee too. In fact, it got me wondering if it was some symbol for an upcoming birth or??? Turns out, I couldn't find anything online about it - I suspect you're right - there's just a blue and pink bit of cloth for whomever built it - or will play in it. :)

Oh, Debb...I didn't even think about that! You know, I'm missing you especially right now as this was the month, last year that the four AR amigas got together here at the Lake!

Gayle, beautiful photos and what a beautiful lake to kayak around. I bet when the fall colors come about, it will be exceptional! Like Gayle, I had to go off and look at teepee's. I remember a few posts you did last year about the Four AR Amigas... that was fun!

Gayle  Now why would I think the blue and pink conveyed a uni-sex outhouse?  Gotta love paradise!
