Kachess Lake Kayaking in 4K UHD with Stunning Aerials


A self-supported trip created by PresenceVideography

Trip Overview

For the Pacific Northwest mountain lake paddlers out there, here is my absolute favorite! About an hour east of Seattle on I90, just past Snoqualmie Pass. Great for beginners to advanced paddlers. Best early morning (lighter winds). Check lake levels before you go at resource below ... best early spring to mid-summer as lake levels can get significantly lower late summer. Options for primitive camping for kayak campers.
