August evening paddle on Fern Ridge Reservoir

Trip Overview

Nice easy put-in, though the water is very shallow at the beach; since I had my fins on my board I had to carry it out past the reeds. Paddled across to the opposite shore, spent about an hour paddling out and back. Strong wind out on the reservoir can make for a choppy ride! Saw a few fish jumping and (very exciting) two adult grebes swimming around.
