Kayaking Three Creeks Lake


My son and I, adventurers that we are drove up to Three Creeks Lake which is only about 20 miles from the house. Once the pavement ends on Forest Road 16, the driving gets really slow because the road is so rough you worry about bottoming out on your oil pan. The lake is picturesque and calm. It is located in a glacial cirque, below Tam McArthur Rim, which was probably last occupied by glacial ice about 13,000 years ago during the Canyon Creek advance of the Cabot Creek glaciation. The outlet stream from the lake flows northward and is joined by two other streams to form Three Creek. See the slideshow below. Click it to go to the album for a larger view.
