| | Turtle Lake is a good place of normal rain; August is the month that gets the most rain while February is the month with the least amount of precipitation. This lake is so wonderful. You'll hit upon a scenic lake called Bush Lake near Turtle Lake, and you can go for a hike on the Sterling Truck Trail. That right there is a load already, but it goes on; Turtle Lake has it all. Camping at Troll Landing Campground is always a glorious experience, and Super 8 | |

Motel - West Branch is a nice place to get some rest. Lakes are such calm places, why not stop at Elbow Lake near Turtle Lake; after a long day outdoors Quality Inn West Branch is a delightful spot to spend a night or two. Feeding
Ground Creek is one of the streams nearby that might be worth going to, and wonderful hiking is available along the Lame Duck Truck Trail.

Elni Lake
 | 19 miles away ...so fishing lake. Much of the reason for that is that the bottom is very shallow (can freeze to the bottom and kill major populations of fish). Near the swamp, it is sometimes only inches deep and most boats cannot navigate ''the cove'' in the NE corner of the lake. The bottom appears to have a loose mud texture and is, therefore, easily disturbed. But, there is more to that story...
It is a fun lake for story-telling because it has as its bottom several feet of sawdust, which when merged with the natural sand and dirt compounds finds itself much like quicksand. At the top of that bottom layer (sawdust, mostly) is the volatile, easily disturbed, mystery muck. Hence, there isn't a beach on Elni. If you wonder about the veracity of my ''quicksand'' reference, take a good, thick stick (we used young poplars stripped of leaves, etc., to push our raft around the lake) and stick it into the bottom (a little off shore, since the very edges of the lake are sandy). You may push it down several feet and never touch bottom. When you pull the stick out, you'll see where the quicksand refer... |
