Kayak Spectacular Baker Lake, WA - Clear Glacial Ice Blue Water, Volcano, Snowy Peaks - 360° Video


A self-supported trip created by PresenceVideography

Trip Overview

Beautiful kayaking day-trip at Baker Lake in Washington, with crystal-clear, glacial ice blue water, Mt Baker volcano looming overhead at over 12,000 feet, jagged snow-capped peaks of Mt Shuksan at the north end of the lake, pristine forests all-around. This is a highly recommended mountain lake kayaking experience. My trip went from Horseshoe Cove half-way up the west side of the lake, around the inlet just north, over to the east side of the lake to Anderson Point, down to Anderson Creek, then back to Horseshoe Cove. Multiple campground options around Baker Lake.
