Chalk Lake

No public access

It’s a serene, beautiful spot with a little bit of a sandy beach, dock, covered area to eat, lots of grassy areas to spread out a picnic blanket and a covered storage area housing paddle boards, kayaks, etc. It’s where I learned to paddle word for the first time!!Unfortunately, it’s a private lake with locked gate access for the 40+ community surrounding the lake. Fortunately, I have a friend who lives in the community who holds his annual client appreciation BBQ ( I consider myself blessed to be invited!)The community is super proud and protective of their lake and hiking trails. While hiking, I was impressed to come across an older couple MOWING the path for upkeep. When a young deer was discovered drowned in the lake in the spring (most likely fell in through thawing ice), a retired veterinarian rolled up his sleeves to haul it out of the lake so it wouldn’t contaminate the waters as the spring temperatures warmed up.So close to Dagmar Ski resort.

Gorgeous. Anytime of year

This is very special place. Swimming in the summer is just out of this world. Water is great!
