A visit to Midge Creek

We got to spend another day on the lake with a few friends. We decided to check out Midge Creek Provincial Park on the west shore of Kootenay Lake. The park has great sandy beaches, a huge benefit as most of the lake has rocky shores. We set up on the beach to hang out, have lunch and do a little bit of wake boarding...

Elyse loved the sand. She kept letting it run through her hands and of course she just had to have a mouth full of it!



Our afternoon ended very quickly as a huge storm blew up. Kootenay Lake is notorious for huge storms blowing in and making the lake very choppy. We know friends that have gotten stuck across the lake at Midge Creek, because the lake was too rough to cross back to the marina.

You can't even see the mountians in the background any more, and check out the white caps on those waves!
